If you getting a big buddy, , it can drain 2 bottles in 2-3 hours. that's about $10 depending where you get bottles.

I use a thing like this https://www.amazon.com/DozyAnt-Un...ljaz10cnVl and refill my bottles outside for savings.

It's not for everyone, the safety patrol will be here any minute to wring their hands about people doing this and being unsafe. Housecat type guys might want to just buy the propane bottles at Target and have a frappe.
They do sell an adapter for the 20lb tanks.
Sams club has the big buddy with the fan, plus 5 foot hose to hook up to 20lb tank for $149. Better deal

The Dyna Glow is a better deal.

Any of you guys buy one of those Chinese diesel heaters that have gotten popular lately. They're about the same price and I guess you can burn about any kind of oil in them including used motor oil etc.

Tried looking online. Sam's site showed zero results for me. I used "big buddy" as my search parameter. How did you find it?

Go to samsclub.com and search for mr heater big buddy. Only a store with stock will show if you search. It will not show if your selected store is out if stock. Change store to another then search again. Alternatively if you use the app it will show whether your particular store is out of stock or not. Then you can check availability by clicking on store pickup and then check availability at another store below it.

I do the same - refill the small bottles. I got the adapter from HF so it's a bit cheaper but otherwise just a brass coupler/thread adapter. Instructions can be found online on how to do the transfer, it's not difficult.

I can get a full 20lb propane refill for $16, so $0.80/lb - but the 1 lb tanks are about $13 for 2 @ HD right now - yes you can probably do a bit better than that, but that's $6.50/lb, over 8 times as expensive as the 20lb method. For that matter, propane home delivery is often even cheaper than the above - my last delivery I paid $0.60/lb.

Holding out for the model with the fan for the same-ish price. More options, more value.

Thanks for the replies. Ended up finding it on my own before getting back here. Looks like the fan models are discontinued and pretty much a thing of the past. Probably just going to buy the DynaGlow for $64 and be done with it, as we really only need this for emergencies anyway. Only had one recent power outage extend more than a few hours in my entire lifetime, but it got fairly cold overnight. This would have helped, but I'm hoping I never have to even use it.

Wont happen soon. Best deal is Sams with fan and hose adapter for $50 more than this deal at northern. If you dont need the hose, then walmart has the fan version for $134. The fan is key in heating. Otherwise radiant heaters suck

I priced matched with Walmart to get it at the $112 price. I suggest others do the same if they want faster shipping.

Just received the little buddy for $74 from Amazon. Half of the BTU of this one.
Didn't realize I need to buy the adapter & hose to hookup for 20lb

Make sure you buy the RIGHT hose. The wrong hose will degrade and leech material into the heater and cause it to break.

I believe you either buy the one with inline fuel filter that you should replace annually or buy part F273704 which is the only one recommended for use without a filter.
