Great price on a very good heater from a trusted brand. These are great for camping or as an emergency heat source during power outages in cold areas. Dyna-Glo is a well known brand that manufactures all kinds of different portable heaters.

If you want to compare this to similar heaters from other brands this model is closest to the Mr. Heater "Big Buddy" model which regularly sells in the $150 price range and is currently $112 at Amazon.

What do ppl have against reading the product details?
Can be used inside is vague. For short durations or on occasion, yes, but i'd use a bit of ventilation and some other safeguards.
I wouldn't consider it wise to run it inside all winter.
"you have the extra option of hooking up the Grab N Go XL heater to a 20 lb. refillable tank with the optional extension hose."

so is the connection for the 20lb tank included?

"Two 1 lb LP Tank Run Time: 2 hrs (high) - 8 hrs (low)"

will 20lb tank give me 20 hrs (high) - 3 days 8 hrs (low) ?

What's a good CO alarm? Are any brands best?

Good question. There are so many available I don't know which ones are considered reliable.

Want a good laugh? I literally started a conversation with a friend of mine a few weeks ago about why propane or natural gas stoves are somehow allowed and considered safe in the home yet portable ones are not. Then recently I started hearing about the banning of of them in the home because of CO pollution issues. Is this an issue while making a plate of scrambled eggs? Obviously not. A day like Thanksgiving with the oven going hours on end and all the burners going as well? I imagine CO levels can quickly become toxic in the average home without proper ventilation. I imagine most homes don't have proper or adequate ventilation in a situation like that. Granted opening a window or door will probably provide enough ventilation to be safe but how many homes have no idea this a potential issue? A proper CO monitor is what every home should have to monitor this potential deadly issue. I prefer a gas stove stop for most cooking but lately I am starting to accept the fact an electric stove top is probably the safer way to go. Granted I don't cook for hours on end so a gas stove top would probably be totally safe for me. Still I do understand the concern and agree it is a real issue in some instances. With all that said most "bakers" would agree electric ovens is the way to go in terms of temp management and humidity. My wife is an incredible baker and she prefers an electric oven over gas by a very large margin.

Received mine today and it was broken right out of the box. The ceramic heater element was loose inside the case. I opened up the back of it and saw that there were supposed to be 4 screws that go through a bracket, through the case for the ceramic element, and into the frame. All 4 were missing but you could see where it had screws. My guess is that they used the exterior screws that would be too small and they fell out. I opened up the back of the case and used 4 #10 3/4 inch screws to put the thing back together.
Other than that, it seems to be fine.

Curious about this too

No, I didn't get one with mine. It's an extra you have to buy.

I have the dual tank Mr. Buddy Heater. I really like it, and like that it has a soft fan option to gently get the air further in front of the heater. ALSO, KEY advantage is that I can use 1 tank and it will light one section of the heating element. Not sure if this DynaGlo can do that.

I would suggest a Y adapter so you can use the tank at max output vs 1 side. But, I use this just for myself, and a couple feet from my seating area works fine outdoors.
The instructions for this DynaGlo that I got (I haven't lit it yet) says, "Not Recommended" to use a single 1lb. tank. So I guess the heating element doesn't have 2 sections?
And it doesn't say anything about using a Y adapter when hooking up a remote tank (nor does it say which side to connect it to).
Edit: I just fired it. Just the side with the tank and adapter was lit for a while. Eventually the other side was also lit. So I guess no Y adapter is needed for this.
Maybe they don't recommend running a single 1 lb. tank because it doesn't put out enough volume to run both sides?

I received mine and it is working well. If it proves to be reliable for a few years this will end up being a great deal. Time will tell.

I have a 1lb tank to 20lb tank adapter to use with my Weber Q portable grill. I can try it to see if it will light both sides as it would with two 1lb tanks installed. I assume it won't since there is nothing you can adjust to make it do so. I believe a "Y" adapter would be necessary to get full output to both sides. I could be wrong of course but that is what I see. I will try to test it over the next few days with the single adapter hose I have on hand.

I don't mind using the 1lb tanks though. It makes it a lot more portable. Just buy enough for your needs and then refill the 1lb tanks yourself using a 20lb tank. The adapter is cheap and it is fairly easy to do. You do need a scale and some patience but it can easily be done. I fill tanks whenever I am doing yardwork. It is a slow process but fairly easy to do. You just don't want to over fill them. That could be dangerous if you were to store them overfilled. When the tanks get warm the pressure can increase and then they will vent excess pressure. Leaking propane is obviously not safe. The Coleman 1lb tanks I use weigh ~29.4 ounces when full. Obviously empty would be 16 ounces less or ~13.4 ounces. As long as you fill them properly they are perfectly safe and can be refilled a lot of times. If a leak develops from the over pressure valve obviously discontinue use.

Quote from sirganon :
The propane doesn't need to be filtered itself. Certain hoses have oils that leech out and need to be filtered out to keep them out of the whatever you are supplying the propane to. The F273704 hose is supposedly made of different materials which negates the need to have a filter.
For $10 I would say buy the filter anyway.

I am glad you asked about this....
I tested my tank with a single hookup to my external 5lb tank, and on Max setting BOTH section DO light up! I mixed that up for something that may have happened at some point.
But YES, the single tank does light up both sides.

I am actually curious on how this tech works...
So the pilot is constantly lit, and the cermaic looking heats have some other area where the propan gas leaks into the ceramic and the pilot lights it up? LOL. Any links if anyone knows would be interesting to see.

Cheers!
