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.

This dyna glo doesn't have a quick connect like the big buddy, so using a hose with a regulator won't help since you're effectively running the propane through 2 regulators (one at the tank end and one at the heater end). For the big buddy it would work as the regulator will reduce the pressure in the hose as it exits the tank and won't leech any particles out of the hose (the quick connect bypasses the regulator on the heater)
Any of the other hoses (Mr. Heater included) are made of rubber which the high pressure will eventually leech particles off and clog your heater. If you want to use a hose that isn't the one I mention above, then you need a filter to keep your heater running without getting clogged (and Mr heater recommends changing it every season). In that caee, I think it's just easier to buy the hose that doesn't require a filter and not worry about constantly changing it.
Hope this helps. Took me a while to figure this all out as it's pretty confusing. It's all explained in the Mr heater FAQ section as well
I even called the number listed for Customer Support and requested a call back. After several hours the call came in and nice woman told be to remove the tanks and shake the unit. If that didn't work I was asked to return it to Walmart.
Does it get warm?

Two 1lb tanks 2.4h on high and 4.5h on medium.
Found the tanks at Target for $5 each so I bought the last 4
I think it will work well in my 12x16 shed when I need to work out there. I ordered a second to see if it has the same issue.

Do I need 2? Or will one of these fuel both sides?

I got my hose from dicks sporting goods for 35, might be worth checking out if you have one nearby

Update: While on hold with their support number for over 30 minutes, I surfed their website to find this product and i can't find a trace of it (even though the manual suggested it). I feel that I've made a mistake with this purchase
