If you are going to use the 20 lb tank I highly recommend you use one of the Mr. Heater fuel filters with any generic hose OR buy the hose F273704. Otherwise oil will leach into the fuel stream and more than likely clog and ruin your heater. Numerous videos and articles about this issue out there.

Maybe a decent deal, but I'll never order from Northern Tools again. They screwed over a bunch of Slickdealers including me last year. They advertised a free Milwaukee inflator with battery purchase. Then shipped just the batteries with no inflator (and no notification of order change). When confronted,v they claimed the free inflator was a mistake, despite the fact it was still advertised as an active promotion on their site. They wouldn't even pay return shipping for the batteries.

It's the only time in 25 years of buying stuff online I've had to dispute a charge with my credit card.

Sure, any company can make a mistake, but the handled it in the worst way and were downright hostile towards their customers.

Caveat emptor.

it says indoor/outdoor safe. I thought burning butane indoors was not safe (except for trivial levels).

So is it safe to have this heating a bedroom for 3-5 days straight during a cold spell in the winter?

LMAOLMAOLMAO Dude, I see this all the time. People who don't even attempt to look something up. They'd rather have someone else look it up for them. Reminds me of babies when they reach their hand up in the air, opening and closing their hand when they want their bottle. LMAOLMAO

Glad I saw your input. I was a little concerned about the lack of a fan with this heater.


Quote from SirVeyer :
A word about the history of the fans. I got an older model that came with a fan. The fan went kaput soon after purchase. Around that time, they stopped shipping them without the fans for whatever reason. Maybe it was a supply issue or it could have been a reliability issue. Whatever it was, it was shipped without any design change meaning there it has an empty compartment for the fan and batteries. Not sure if that is still the case. That probably spurred many diyers to put in a fan as you can find on YouTube. I, myself, replaced the fan that could run both on D batteries or a USB source. I concluded it wasn't powerful enough to make much of a difference. I then attached a similar sized fan to the handle but runs on 120V. That didn't seem to make that much of a difference either. I've concluded that it really doesn't need a fan. It works great without a fan indoors. For outdoors, just put it close to use the radiant heat. So in conclusion, don't let the fan determine your buying decision. If you really want a fan, just use a separate more powerful fan you probably already own like one with the 20V tool batteries.

Given the new research out regarding benzene produced by propane and natural gas stoves I would not use this thing inside. Maybe in a garage with the door wide open but even then I'd be hesitant: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/16/11...-to-cancer

Amazing that one one post regarding folks who think that refilling one pound canisters for this will implode the universe....but that has been replaced by the dangers of CO, apparently. How many of the thousands upon thousands of that use these in tiny ice huts or tents die from that? Find me ONE.

No fan? No problem! A typical 3 year old can find a fan on Amazon that runs off the heat this puts out with no batteries. Everyone has a world of knowledge at their fingertips, yet refuses to use it. What a crazy planet we live on.

Buy the 10ft Buddy hose F273704 and save on purchasing the required filter.

Another thing to note... If you're running it off a 20 lb propane tank with the low pressure hose, it takes a WHILE to get the pilot to light. Just be patient.

No. Unless you have some type of generator or heater that explicitly states tri-fuel or natural gas, then it is only designed to work with propane.

Fake news. I have a red one with a fan that I bought last year from Lowe's. They are hard to find these days.
Don't seem to be hard to find. Quick google search shows they are for sale about everywhere for $119.99. $99 for refurbished. This deal is ok. YMMV as to whether you consider it slick or not. I'm on the fence. Could anyone provide a link for a 20lb propane adapter cable. Seems to be so many out there. and prices seem all over the place...

2 thumbs down. Told my wife I got her a Big Buddy for use indoors or out and she was pissed when it came as a heater.
