Are they fairly difficult to knock over? Just worried about my kids bumping it with something.

Where do I buy this optional hose to connect a 20lb standard tank?

Amazon has a ton of adapter hoses in varying lengths. For example, I recently bought this 5' hose for our Buddy heater. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0757...UTF8&psc=1

You literally have no idea how hard it is to kill your self with these things. We use this every winter, every day, every year, to supplement our oil furnace. Go back to playing Fortnite son.
I think you're agreeing with karazi. You perhaps meant to respond to the person to whom karazi was responding 😊

I have a mr Buddy but when I use it in my garage, the carbon monoxide detector I have goes off after only a few minutes. Is there something wrong with my Mr Buddy?

I have the Mr Buddy or I think called Big buddy, its got the 2 tank spots, and the fan. The one complaint I have is that it cannot take a breeze or wind. The pilot goes out and no more heat. So if this one has a pilot that is protected from wind, that alone might make this better. Otherwise, for indo the MRbuddy does have a fan and can be plugged in as mentioned, so that is a plus as well.

I have two Buddy heaters… and LOVE them. The Big Buddy is 18k and comparable to this one and I looked at the manual and it looks very similar in operation. One thing to note is that the previous gen Big Buddy heaters have a fan driven off (4) D batteries or that really helps circulate the air. (You can also buy an optimal power adapter). The latest Big Buddy 18k BTU heaters no longer have the fan, but you can order it and take it apart and add it.

The other thing that may be a difference between this one is that the instructions says this is "infinitely adjustable" most likely meaning you can adjust the propane output as needed for heat. With the big Buddy, you just get high/medium/low and there are no adjustments. One thing to also not is that with the Big Buddy heaters that low/'medium only use the left heater panel. The right heat panel only turns on when on the high setting. Not a big deal, but I assume that might lead to long term wear on the single panel.

I also use these heaters to heat a small cabin that I have all winter long with no issues. I either refill small 1lb oropane tanks or run off a larger 20lb tank with a hose adapter. I do have carbon monoxide and smoke alarms just in case but had never had an issue.

I may buy one of those Dyna GLO just for the heck of it to compare. I have been so impressed with the Buddy heaters though… Why change now?
Thanks, helpful details.
With adjustable setting and high rating at 18k BTU, looks like a better deal than the $75 heater at Costco…

I have the big buddy. Google usb power for big buddy fan. Easy modification and no more batteries to buy, run the fan off portable rechargers.

That pesky "used as directed" stuff!

There's battalions of lawyers out there trolling "to help" the directionless.

Please don't use this indoors!

For outdoors, consider your use case. Might be better to get an outdoor fire bowl instead. Those have 28k-35k btu. This would be great for portability and efficiency though (fire bowls burn less efficiently - more yellow flame, less blue) .
You're completely wrong. That is all.

Went with the cabinet-style for ~$125. Similar controls & same guts. With the cost of the smaller, more portable unit + hose adapters + ...it was going to run close to the same cost anyway. Plus, the wife didn't want to see the 20# tank anyway...esp. w/ some 6'+ hose across the floor.

Given benefit it has 3 panels to pump out heat & takes no time at all to toast up that side of the house

Thought the 1 pounder is disposable. Been throwing away after shooting a hole in.

Beware all hand wringers, Trigger warning below, :

If you run this full blast you will be draining the pounders, I use this item to refill pounder canisters off of a 20lb grill-type tank.: https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-...54&sr=8-12 I do refill outside and use hemostats to open the relief valve be careful of the liquid propane. when it sprays it will freeze your skin. wear gloves.

It makes it economical to use these little heaters. I use mine in a garage -GASP!- and risk my life every time I do.
