great companionI've used this unit for two hunting seasons in a 24X16 walled hunting tent. While the wood stove worked great the heater in the other corner of the tent was a blessing. It was hooked up to a 20 pound propane tank and provided the right amount of heat to make the tent comfortable all night and especially in the cold mornings (5 degrees Fahrenheit). definitely a great companion to what could be a cold night if the wood stove cooled down. I plan on purchasing one for my daughter and mother-in-law in case of power outages in the winter.
note: if using a propane tank you will have to hold down the igniter switch long enough for he air to be removed from the line to the propane tank.(a couple minutes) No regrets.

Great ProductWorks great. Heated my single car garage to 60 degrees on a night when it was 17 degrees outside in about 30 minutes. I also used the ac adapter to operate the fan.

Not ReliableLet me start with some disclaimers: 1) I live in Maine. 2) It's cold in Maine. 3) Heat is important in the cold.
I purchased this on 1-30-17 with the intention of using it to heat my 6x6 ice shack. I lit it in my house when I got home to familiarize myself with the controls so I wouldn't have any issues when I got it out on the ice. I took it out ice fishing on the morning of 1-1-18 and first thing, the pilot wouldn't light. It wouldn't even click like it was trying to light. I had to remove the cage and light the pilot with a lighter. With that accomplished I set it on Med and let it heat up until the tiles glowed bright orange. I then set it to High. It stayed on about 5 minutes and kicked itself off. There was no reason for it to kick off. I relit the pilot, this time it worked without removing the cage, and went through the same steps as before with the tiles glowing orange on Med and then turning it on High, It kicked off again. I relit it a third time and left it on Med but on Med me and my dog were so cold we only stayed out ice fishing about 2 hours. It wouldn't even heat the shack enough to keep us warm enough to stay out. It was cold outside (about -10 F) but this is the reason I bought this heater. I had used a propane cook stove in the past to take the chill off the air but this heater couldn't even do that. I am going to be returning this heater and getting my money back. I cannot and will not recommend this heater to anyone who plans on using it in the cold weather. Maybe it would be better suited for camping in Arizona.

Portable HeaterI was afraid, since I normally hate to use propane but now I'm very confortable with my new heater. It was very easy to carried and set up for a cold night in my patio.

Best you can getI use my big buddy heater pretty much every day from the house to take off the chill instead of building a fire on cold mornings to heating my 12x14 wall tent in -26 while camped out at work only thing is I wish it came with the wall plug on the fan and the hose to attach to a larger propane bottle but not a breaking deal at all this heater will cook you out of the place set it on low and it will hold the heat in the room for days with a larger propane bottle
Thank you for your inquiry. This heater does not come with the Big Buddy Carry Bag. The Carry Bag is sold separately.

If I have two full tanks at night and the heater is on low, Wii it automatically switch over to the other tank or do the tanks run simultaneously? And how many hours will it run on low?
Asked by: Kimberley944
Per the Manufacturer - "Yes the tank will automatically switch runs about 5.5 hours on a 1 lb. tank
Operating time will vary depending on the heater setting and the supply cylinder size. (One 1 lb. cylinder: 1.5 to 6 hours. Two 1 lb. cylinders: 3 to 12 hours. Two 20 lb. cylinders: 50 to 220 hours.) Heater may be operated from quick disconnect, one or both regulated inlets"
