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.

This looks like a competitor Mr Heater big buddy
Plenty of people use Mr heater in a tent, just make sure you take a Carbon Monoxide Detector and I would keep it placed off the tent with a wood board or something that won't melt or catch fire easily.

Between me and my BIL we own both this and the Mr Buddy Heater of the same size. Both will work fantastically with just (1) 1lb canister attached but obviously you will have half the run time. The 20lb hose attachment is also the same and simply attaches to one of the 2 inlets while the other side remains unconnected (the same as if you just had just a single 1lb bottle connected).

We like them both just the same and this is a great deal!
I just bought a Big Buddy heater. The confusing thing is understanding the options for using a 20 lb bottle. The Big Buddy is the only Mr Heater model that has 3 inlets, (2) for the 1 lb bottles and (1) quick disconnect that is exclusively for the 20 lb or larger tanks. You can buy a single quick disconnect hose, which will allow you to use the heater on the high setting. Or you can buy a hose that converts the smaller inlets for the 20 lb bottle. However, each 1 lb inlet only powers 1 of the 2 heating tiles. So you would need 2 conversion hoses to use the heater on the high setting, plus a either (2) 20 lb tanks or a single tank and a splitter. Much easier to just get a quick disconnect hose if you're planning to use a 20 lb bottle. I could be wrong, but I think the instructions on this Dyna Glow model indicate a similar 3 inlet configuration.

I a Tank Top Shop Heater I bought long ago at a garage sale. Maybe I should start going again, got my best deals on handy things. Mr. Heater 15000-BTU Portable Propane Tank Top Propane Heater
$54.99

When I lost power for nearly a week during winter I put this on my porch and aimed it inside through my patio door. Of course a CO2 detector is still a good idea. Felt safe since it was outside directing the radiant heat inside. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mr-Heate...1001333822 mine is a bit bigger.

This simply is not true, at all.








I have the hose that connects to the regular inlet (not the quick connect), connected to the right side only and use the high setting exclusively which lights up both tiles. The knob (control valve) is what activates the high setting (second tile), and has nothing to do with having the second tank connected as all of the inlets (including the quick connect) are connected to the control valve, not the tiles directly.






Edit: Video showing exactly what I do nearly every weekend. This Dynaglow works exactly the same way.

I have the big buddy from Mr.Heater. It will keep a small room warm or anywhere the heater is in proximity to you. I use it when I work in the garage in the winter.

There is much debate over the value of the blower but I am fan (pun intended). It allows a broader range for the heat. Starting in ~2019 they started selling it without the blower. Then I saw this year, some models have it, some don't. If you have a choice I would go for the blower model as you don't have to use but then have the option. The current price is $150. Around black friday I have seen them on sale for something like $100.

I know people with the big buddies that run it off 20 lbs tank at their cabins (running the hose to the take outside) or even their garages. If you go that route, their is filter they sell. . It filters small particle contaminants from getting into the components. Fitter and hose sold separately. A friend of mine uses his this way and uses it a lot. He changes the filter once per year and has had that big buddie for 5-6 years so it seems like once a year is enough.

This dynaglow is clone, not sure if it has blower but for $80 seems like deal. Also not sure if has the adapter for the 20lbs tank option but again for $80 its a great option for using such as I have spelled out above or as a back option (if your heat goes out due to something like a power outage or running out of oil).
blah I have been looking for this filter for months. Not in stock anywhere, anyone know where I can get one? I'd much rather hook up a 20lb tank and run a hose vs refill a bunch of 1lb tanks

I've been looking at these for a couple months and saw people on YouTube using heat powered fans which seem like a great mod

It can work, but if you are serious about vanlife, I've seen many people going this route:

I have a double eye burner sitting on top of a propane tank in the middle of my living room.... But I do live by myself. Safety is overrated.

Wonder how many people this product kills each year who use it inside their house.
I live in an RV for the last 7 years and use a Big Buddy every day of the winter.Leave a window cracked and small fan to circulate heat.Don't leave it on while I'm asleep so the cat don't knock something over and I wake up in a ball of flames.

Too hot for such a small area to heat I've heard people just using a small one burner Coleman stove on low with a window cracked.

It all depends on the size of the vehicle, the temperature outside, and your comfort zone. I've seen the buddy used on low without issue in many vans and on high in others when really cold and want to increase temp quickly.

I just got home from a day of ice fishing. Had my big buddy heater going on high for probably 6 hours with the shanty sealed up tight and I'm totally figgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Seriously though, I've never had an issue with mine. I have a normal buddy heater and a big buddy heater. The fan is certainly a nice feature that helps circulate the warm air. It's not a huge difference, but it helps.

The comment above about the multiple tanks is wildly inaccurate. You can run these (big buddy heater) off a single 1 lb. cylinder, (2) 1 lb. cylinders, or get the "adapter" hose and run it off whatever tank size you use. I use a small 5 lb. tank because it's light weight and lasts me all day, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the 1 lb. cylinders. Make SURE if you are using the adapter that you also purchase the filter.

And, I'd highly advise against refilling the green Coleman/Wally world 1 lb. cylinders. Yes it can be done. Yes it can be done safely. But, it can also be dangerous as hell if you don't know what you're doing. I'm also fairly certain it's illegal (to transport). Do it right and find get a Flame King refillable kit and a couple extra refillable cylinders, or just spend the money on the adapter/filter/larger tank.

Edit: also, if you're new to these things, they're great for heating up food (if it's you're only option). They have little trays that attach to the front grate.

I was originally to go the route of buying a fill adapter and refilling a bunch of 1lb canisters...but in the end I realized that's not worth the time and risk

In my search for a filter and finding out I can't get this anywhere right now, I did some research. Mr Heater is horrible with their attachments and information with which one you need...so hopefully this helps someone else out

SKU# F271803 - is the 12ft hose with the regulator on the high pressure end (20lb tanks), and it is designed for use with the big buddy. It has a quick connect that attaches into the big buddy. To my knowledge no filter is needed.

SKU# F273704 - I think you could also use this as it's supposedly made with a different material so it wont break down and clog the parts on the heater. To my knowledge no filter is needed.

OR your last option is to buy a generic hose and get a filter...but these are sold out everywhere
