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

Quote from RMcConnaha :
I think it might be a pressure issue, some of the cheaper hoses don't have a regulator
My hose kit was from Mr. Heater so it was made by the Mr. Buddy people. You are correct however, it is unregulated. It uses the regulators built into the heater.

Thanks for noticing that! Seems that Amazon is pulling this "non-returnable" scam more and more.

If I'm going to buy something at "Garage Sale Rules" I want garage sale prices. At least this scam is helping me save money by making me think 3x about if I want to risk an expensive purchase like this at Amazon.
At least Amazon CS is usually fantastic. I had ordered one for Christmas and the package arrived damaged. I wanted to exchange it, but had to go through customer services. In typical Amazon fashion they couldn't exchange it, but told me to keep it and gave me a full refund. I'll still never understand their policies, but works for me.

For the cost of that product, its not worth their while due to cost of shipping and difficulty in handling returned items. You see there are 'wholesale' people selling Amazon returned pallets/container of merchandize in online auctions. It's crazy out there. Amazon's retail idea is still half baked.

Yes, I would look for one with a fan. I thought those were only available in the earlier versions though (ie they don't make them anymore). But if they do, yes I would get that one.

It makes a huge difference in my ice shanty, anyway.

FWIW, I have Amazon Prime and the ship times have went to heck.

Five days is the new "quick" amazon shipping time. Plus, I have had two late deliveries this week alone.

I don't know what the heck has happened to Amazon Shipping, but there is no way that Prime is worth $179.

This is so true. And there are usually not much cost difference for the same Chinese crap that is not prime.

Good price. I paid about $100 for a certified refurb version of this from Acme Tool and I thought that was a decent deal.

I paid 100 new at Cabelas.

Seeing as it is sold AND shipped by Northern Tool that it would seem to be a Northern Tool "scam"
