Mr.Heater Buddy Heater or Little Buddy

[moecarama]

I found this one new but dusty on the shelf at an old bait store yesterday, it's the older model MH9B (4000-9000 BTU). It doesn't have the swivel connection where the bottle/hose attaches. I attached the 1lb bottle to it and turned it to the low setting, works great. I will give it a chance but, I think the exposed flame will go out with the slightest breeze.

Thanks for all the responses folks..keep'em coming!

I think that’ll work good for you!

This thread reminds me of something my uncle told my about my dad back in the 1940s. He would use a coleman lantern placed down inside a metal 5 gallon pail. He told them it really kept him warm.

I use the Mr.Heater head and put it on a 20lb tank. Doesn't blow out and really warm.

Have you had any trouble getting a 20# tank with the long hose to work? I bought mine a couple years ago, and ordered that hose/adapter for a 20# tank and I cant get it to fire the year. OBTW the small tanks dont last long and at $7.00 a bottle it can get expensive to stay warm. I use mine when I tent camp in the winter trout fishing, on a 25 degree morning they it warms the tent just fine.

I bought the 1lb bottles from our local Rural King $6.98 (2 per pack). I got the 5' hose and pressure regulator ; just need a 5-10lb tank that would be ideal.
