I've had a Mr. Buddy Heater for about 5 years now. I've used it 3 times during grid down situations due to ice storms. It performed well enough that I bought another a couple years ago. Now I have them set up to run off a 100 lb propane bottle attached with 10ft. hoses. I also keep several regular propane bottles handy for the grill and smoker. While not a permanent solution they'll get you by in an emergency.
This Video is absolutely one of the BEST Videos I have seen so far on this subject!!! The Filming and Editing is Excellent too ... (NOT Boring, Very Educational).
Very interesting unit! What is your first choice since this unit is not? This was a very informative and thorough review. Love the honest unbiased, step by step review and the demos of utility and safety features. Thanks for sharing and the sacrifice made for the team!
My go to is my Woodstove !!!! Works Everytime !! Lol, I'm looking at this unit and cooker for when the snow and freezing winds come ,I don't have to cut wood ( bowsaw) and split ( hatchet) this guy was bumming me out with his comments,had to hit the exit. I see he didn't answer your question. 🤡🔥
Excellent review. I love our Big Buddy heater and wasn't aware of this Flex model.This would be a great heating & cooking appliance to take to an ice fishing shanty
Thank you for the honest review! I purchased this unit and cooker just for ice fishing in Ontario. It is an amazing purchase if you want to catch and cook on the ice in a pop up! 🤠
Thanks AP. I noticed the awkward start up right off the bat. Having mobility issues in my hands I always look for things like that. I love my regular Mr Heater Buddy. It's 9000 btu's and with an adaptor I can use the 20 pound propane tank instead of the expensive little 1 pound bottles. It was $70 at both Home Depot and wally world. Much Love
I live in the southeast and it doesn’t get cold often. We don’t smoke in our home so this is PERFECT for my back porch to use when it gets real cold here. Don’t even need it on high.
Very honest review....I own a small buddy heater and I'm happy with it for its intended purpose...this however is not only expensive...(I can buy 2 of the smaller units for that price)...But the features aren't all that impressive...I saw a hack where you can remove and reverse the protective grill and use it on the small buddy heater to cook or boil water....Thanks.
Yea for cooking get a nice Coleman stove with 2 burners for $50-80 done. Big buddy is awesome on sale I bought one for $99 at tractor supply last month! But for over $200 for both those items you show, that is a bit steep although very useful
I love your american prices....here in Canada this unit over $300 the cook unit is 200 $ the buddy 5 ft hose unit is $70 one 20lb propane tank is $65 - $70 Total with taxes = Over $600 Not worth it ;-( I am happy with a camp fire or alcohol pop can stove for cooking food in parks, boiling water for dehydrated meals thanks for the review
GREAT CONTENT AND REVIEW. I have a 20 foot hose to run it out the window to my 20 pound tank... ='s cracked open window, fresh air. I have a Big Buddy and until I get a LP fireplace installed, this is my secondary heat. Thanks for the video. MERRY CHRISTMAS. God Bless, stay safe. BTW, I have a concrete block rocket stove for cooking outside.
This is a good honest review I looked at with the stove with the heater too and didn't think it was that great either.... I think the manufacturer should have gave this unit the ability to convert from heater to stove.
I have a Mr Heater that screws right into 20lb tank. Light with a match. Have to hold starter button for about 45 seconds and it starts sounding like a jet warming up lol. When on low, I get about 2 full days of heat - big drafty room. If use in smaller or more airtight/insulated area, it would probably last a lot longer. It has tilt safety. I put tank on old cookie sheet and put big pan of water in front on floor (to have to go around as well as adding moisture into air). I hope this helps give another option.
Thanks for the review. I bought the Buddy Flex combo when they first came out. I really like the heater for camping. I like the 180 degree feature and it packs up a bit better than the Big Buddy. If you're looking for a home emergency heater, stick with the Big Buddy units. I heat my 400 sqft workshop with a Big Buddy hooked to a 20lb tank. For cooking, I think I'll stick with my JetBoil or dedicated stove. The add-on cooker is a nice concept but I'm too concerned about food or oil accidentally dropping on that big open burner.
Our chimney cracked & caught our trusses on fire then the attic & so on, me the wife & pets our living in a camper in our driveway for like 2 weeks now while the house gets rebuilt, but this is WAY warmer than the tough buddy heater, it really impresses me in that huge camper in January in PA
The cooker is easily used as a standalone unit by purchasing a natural gas quick connect kit and putting the male end on the cooker and the female supply end on the end of a 1lb tank hose or a 20lb tank hose
TY Rudy. for this Buddy flex review! Good info as always.Stay Safe, much love, hugs and God Bless you and your family!!! Stanley and Donna in the NE GA mountains
I don't like that they need batteries. We have one of the old round Mr Buddy heaters, A mid size Mr Buddy (neither use batteries) and we have a single coleman burner that also screws onto a 1 lb tank that you light with a match or ferro...no batteries
Did you mention that you can use a 20 pound propane tank. Of course with a hose extender and the filter. You never put any heater source on carpet. This is a great system to save your life! And keep your pipes from bursting or just keep you and your safe.
My little buddy is a immediate area heater not a full room heater. I also have a adapter and filter for using little buddy with 20 lb tank. 20 lb tank and fittings is for emergence use only for me.
I have 2 Mr. Big Buddy heaters, both have 12' hoses with 2-20lb tanks and dual Stove Fans. Love them! The Flex is a proprietary pain. Cannot use the Cooker Stove by itself, has to have the Flex Heater for fuel. Not happening...When I bug, I want my stuff versatile as possible so I can mix/match. This is NOT it! Stick with the Mr. Big Buddy and you'll stay happier. And you can find much more versatile propane cooks stoves for a lot less money.
@@AlaskaPrepper I had a feeling you were going to say that. My problem is I don't own my property and live in an Hoa managed development. Can't install propper ventilation for the ideal wood stove. Thanks for the Reply my friend!
As soon as you said Im going to heat up water cause I don't want grease on my table .....I realized why you cant use indoors.If spill a few tablespoons or more of fat in that burner your going to potentially have a WAY bigger flame than you want...Makes sense now!!
You kinda forgot to mention that (for some inexplicable reason) you have to light the pilot on the heater to put heat on the heater's thermocouple before the heater will relay gas to the cooker. I'm REALLY not sure why that was a necessary design element. (The heater will not run while relaying propane to the cooker.) I only purchased this system because I found each component marked down by a lot at different locations at the end of a winter season. And as you said, this is a redundant system for me. Kind of a winter outage / bugout unit. It's nice in some ways, but odd in others.
Great review but I have some info to share you can also use 20 lb cans with the flex which you made it sound like you couldn’t. Also yes the big buddy is a higher BTU output but you get high or low, there is no adjustable temperature and others claim you either stay Luke warm or sweat in certain camping situations. I do own the flex and love it. I have a 3 season room where I store my beer and pop and use the flex to raise temps out of beverage explosion ranges 😂. I ran it an hour and brought the 160 sq ft room from 20 degrees to a comfortable 65 degrees and shut it off until the night and repeat prior to bed. I never leave it unattended. But seriously one of the better videos. Thanks!!
Where do you store your propane canisters. I have a big buddy for emergencies and used it when we had a power outage last winter I loved it, I closed the bedroom doors and was toasty for the 18 hour outage.
@@AlaskaPrepper I keep all of my little ones and my butane canisters for my Colman burner outside in the garage that is unheated in a climate similar to yours, I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing.
I know this video is a bit old, but I would love to see you do a follow-up on what you're other backup heating systems are that you spoke of. I live I Texas, so maybe Mr Buddy would, but I like to have options. Thanks Rudy!!
Yes, Coleman has a good variety of them that use propane and there are a couple of butane stoves that I recommend. Check out my amazon storefront; I have them listed there.
Thanks for the review, AP. If you can, I would return both items. Definately return the cooker. Right away I didn't like that you had to attach the cooker to the heater. What a pain that would be. Great review. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 💚🎄💚⛄
People don't like that it uses a battery for ignition but you can easily light it it with a match, lighter, ferro rod... you can even store any of these in the side compartment should the electric ignition fail
On the cooker. Once the top part is light up and warm enough to let go of the pilot. Does the pilot turn of and the stove part stays on, or is the point supposed to stay on the entire time?
we decided to get a mr buddy for back up heating. however both sizes used only the little green containers and the salesperson said they were good for ice fishing tents however he went on to say there is a safe way to convert them for use with a small tank (one that is used with a gas grill) we did get the conversion unit and are please with it
I've disabled the tipping roll over off on this unit. It was sooooo annoying.. it kept turning off everytime and especially when I tried moving it... now it stays on all the time and the pilot switch turns on all the time now...
So basically your saying my big buddy heater was the better of the options out of all of them? Also there is another prepper who showed us a few cool tricks with just the buddy heater and the front grate you can use to cook stuff on .
I bought two of the “Big Buddy” heaters at Tractor Supply for $99 each on sale a few weeks ago. You can purchase a 5’ hose for $20 so that you can use it with 20LB LP tanks, etc.
If this is what you call your "Last Case Scenario"... Then what do you recommend to buy at First... ??? This is a GREAT Video... I did learn a lot... Thank you for sharing this video.
Its for electronic lighting of the pilot, so you dont have to keep hitting the button like on other Mr. Buddys. If the electronic ignition goes out, you can still light the pilot with a long lighter or match.
I need help. I have a cottage on cape cod I like to go too for the weekends in the winter but unfortunately there’s no heat it’s about 1000 sq feet max. Does anyone recommend this? I’ve tried electric heaters but they suck lol
Thanks for a great video on this i would not of payed that much for it when you can get a rocket stove for 1/10 the price that never runs out of things to burn sticks propane butane but thanks reach one tech one is a great saying
Uhhhh, yea, no. Money wise, you'd be better off going with an 18,000 BTU Mr. Buddy $229CAD Canadian Tire and a 15,000 BTU Gas One stove $100CAD on Amazon. I'd also get the hoses to go to a large propane tank for both.
I've had a Mr. Buddy Heater for about 5 years now. I've used it 3 times during grid down situations due to ice storms. It performed well enough that I bought another a couple years ago. Now I have them set up to run off a 100 lb propane bottle attached with 10ft. hoses. I also keep several regular propane bottles handy for the grill and smoker. While not a permanent solution they'll get you by in an emergency.
That's brilliant prepping! It would have saved some lives in Texas during the snow storm last year!!!
great, looking to buy. So glad you did a review, always good to listen to someone you already trust!!
Thanks for taking the time to show us the product. Muchly appreciated. Have a blessed evening.
This Video is absolutely one of the BEST Videos I have seen so far on this subject!!!
The Filming and Editing is Excellent too ... (NOT Boring, Very Educational).
I RECENTLY BOUGHT ONE OF THE LITTLE BUDDYS...HAVE NOT USED IT YET.....☮️❤️💥🦁🐯🦄🦋❤️🌎🌈🌎😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇🇺🇸🖖 it is a back up to my back up.
Very interesting unit! What is your first choice since this unit is not? This was a very informative and thorough review.
Love the honest unbiased, step by step review and the demos of utility and safety features. Thanks for sharing and the sacrifice made for the team!

Excellent review. I love our Big Buddy heater and wasn't aware of this Flex model.This would be a great heating & cooking appliance to take to an ice fishing shanty
Can't heat and cook at the same time...
Always appreciate your honesty! Much Love and Merry Christmas! 💙💛🙏
Thank you for the honest review!
I purchased this unit and cooker just for ice fishing in Ontario. It is an amazing purchase if you want to catch and cook on the ice in a pop up! 🤠
Thank you for your honesty AP
It's always great to see your product reviews. God Bless You All From The Gulf Coast Of Alabama. 💯👍👍🙏😎🇺🇸
Thank you for such a thorough review of this product.
Thanks AP. I noticed the awkward start up right off the bat. Having mobility issues in my hands I always look for things like that. I love my regular Mr Heater Buddy. It's 9000 btu's and with an adaptor I can use the 20 pound propane tank instead of the expensive little 1 pound bottles. It was $70 at both Home Depot and wally world. Much Love
The biggest advantage to buying the big buddy is the 2 tank hookup. Being able to hook it up to two 20 pound tanks is the better option.
Thank you for the excellent product review. I’m grateful for my Mr Heater Big Buddy. Stay warm and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🎄🎁☃️
Yes, I also have the Bg Buddy for secondary. MERRY CHRISTMAS. God Bless, stay safe.
I stand to the side to start mine. It’s good for short power outages. My house holds heat really well.
The best review of this product that I've seen online! Thanks for sharing!!!!
I live in the southeast and it doesn’t get cold often. We don’t smoke in our home so this is PERFECT for my back porch to use when it gets real cold here. Don’t even need it on high.
Very honest review....I own a small buddy heater and I'm happy with it for its intended purpose...this however is not only expensive...(I can buy 2 of the smaller units for that price)...But the features aren't all that impressive...I saw a hack where you can remove and reverse the protective grill and use it on the small buddy heater to cook or boil water....Thanks.
Thank you .Needed this info. Many times storms knock out electric for weeks.BLESSINGS 💪👍
Perfect timing for this review 👍🎄💜
Yea for cooking get a nice Coleman stove with 2 burners for $50-80 done. Big buddy is awesome on sale I bought one for $99 at tractor supply last month! But for over $200 for both those items you show, that is a bit steep although very useful
Thanks for your honest review :)
Thanks for the honest review.
I love your american prices....here in Canada this unit over $300
the cook unit is 200 $
the buddy 5 ft hose unit is $70
one 20lb propane tank is $65 - $70
Total with taxes = Over $600
Not worth it ;-(
I am happy with a camp fire or alcohol pop can stove for cooking food in parks, boiling water for dehydrated meals
thanks for the review
Great review! Thanks for giving your opinion on this unit. I agree with your thoughts on it.
What are some heating options you recommend for your house?
I love your reviews and your prepping videos. Thank you this is awesome.
Thanks for the honest review.ap

❎. Can a piece is sheet metal
be placed over top?

Hearing the clicks also lets you know it's engaging
Great Demonstration on these items. Thank you. Amen

I agree. That makes all the sense in the world. I purchased it with that exact plan in mind. Just seems like the logical thing to do.
Thanks much for the comment, spent 20 minutes looking for this answer.
Thanks for this review. I just bought the buddy flex heater yesterday. This was very helpful.
Ty! & thanks for your honest review! Appreciate u AP. Merry Christmas to u & family. ❤️✝️🎄🎁✝️
If you want a cheaper option to stay warm, go stand in the corner of a room.
Its 90 degrees :)
Lol!!! Good One 😄
Lol😆😆😆...I didn't see that one coming.
Ha! Ha!
😄
I have the portable Mr. Buddy heater and love it, use it every winter for the last 4 years. Mine is yellow most I see are red.
Thank you for your show
TY Rudy. for this Buddy flex review! Good info as always.Stay Safe, much love, hugs and God Bless you and your family!!! Stanley and Donna in the NE GA mountains
It has its purpose. If you were going ice fishing and you also wanted something to cook a bit of food this might be a good unit.
Thanks AP. Kinda cool gadget. Thinking the bigger one too. May as well get as warm as ya can for your buck. 😏✌️💗🤠
I don't like that they need batteries. We have one of the old round Mr Buddy heaters, A mid size Mr Buddy (neither use batteries) and we have a single coleman burner that also screws onto a 1 lb tank that you light with a match or ferro...no batteries

Hadn't head this was out, I have a Big Buddy as others have mentioned, thanks for the review, might pick one up.
Don't. Just get another big buddy.
Thank You Rudy, I was thinking about this, but it doesn't make sense to me either.
Thank you for the review😊. @Alaskaprepper Just curious... what would be your go to heating source in an emergency situation.
After I've exhausted all of my fuel sources I would revert to using a wood stove.
@@AlaskaPrepper I had a feeling you were going to say that. My problem is I don't own my property and live in an Hoa managed development. Can't install propper ventilation for the ideal wood stove. Thanks for the Reply my friend!
Maybe they say not to use the cook top part inside because of a possible grease fire or something?
As soon as you said Im going to heat up water cause I don't want grease on my table .....I realized why you cant use indoors.If spill a few tablespoons or more of fat in that burner your going to potentially have a WAY bigger flame than you want...Makes sense now!!
I really like yes I did that would be good for emergencies
Good for Emergency Coffee 😁

I store most of them inside of my fuel tent but keep a few inside the house.

The burner does not have an Oxygen sensor or tipping/turn off feature, so that is probably why they say no use inside.
Excellent Review!!!
Cool, but the GasOne @ 15,000 BTU unit is twice the BTUs for half the price.
Have one and can use butane and propane. Not sure how much btus and just a cooker.
Purchased big buddy 18,000 btu on sale at northern tools for $109.00 and a $20.00 off coupon from their company came to $89.00 ! GOOD DEAL!!
Maxine Cullum ,that's a score! I found one in the metal recycle bin at our local home improvement store
I tested and it is brand new FREE!
That is a great deal; I purchased my Big Buddy about six years ago and I still paid more than that.
Are there any other PROPANE STOVES that are for camping/emergencies ?
Yes, Coleman has a good variety of them that use propane and there are a couple of butane stoves that I recommend. Check out my amazon storefront; I have them listed there.
Thank you for the goof review.
Thank you !!! I just bought a smaller one...
Put on a cookie sheet just to be safe
unless you have a wood-burning fireplace this is your heat till power comes back
It’s a CYA to only use outside. Lawsuits ya know. 😢
Probably because of grease for potential.
Thanks for the review, AP. If you can, I would return both items. Definately return the cooker. Right away I didn't like that you had to attach the cooker to the heater. What a pain that would be. Great review. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 💚🎄💚⛄
It's an added option
space saver.
I'm assuming stove has
seperate/dedicated attachment?
Disconnect canister, attach hose?
🤺💐
Yah I just bought the cooker not realizing you cannot use it alone. 😡
People don't like that it uses a battery for ignition but you can easily light it it with a match, lighter, ferro rod... you can even store any of these in the side compartment should the electric ignition fail
On the cooker. Once the top part is light up and warm enough to let go of the pilot. Does the pilot turn of and the stove part stays on, or is the point supposed to stay on the entire time?
Hey… the Flex can use various sizes in propane containers. You got it wrong.
Looks good, I will be looking for one since I don't have a second heating system. But I really need a cheap ,simple system.
we decided to get a mr buddy for back up heating. however both sizes used only the little green containers and the salesperson said they were good for ice fishing tents however he went on to say there is a safe way to convert them for use with a small tank (one that is used with a gas grill) we did get the conversion unit and are please with it
Kerosene heaters are a cheaper option.
I've disabled the tipping roll over off on this unit. It was sooooo annoying.. it kept turning off everytime and especially when I tried moving it... now it stays on all the time and the pilot switch turns on all the time now...
Would you be able to attach this to a larger propane canister with an adapter?
What is your first go to?
How does the levels of back up work? What do you start with?
So basically your saying my big buddy heater was the better of the options out of all of them? Also there is another prepper who showed us a few cool tricks with just the buddy heater and the front grate you can use to cook stuff on .
I'm trying to find a good heater for emergencies
I bought two of the “Big Buddy” heaters at Tractor Supply for $99 each on sale a few weeks ago. You can purchase a 5’ hose for $20 so that you can use it with 20LB LP tanks, etc.
This was a very good video! Im currently out in my garage with my mr buddy on….i use it to just sit next to me iut here as I smoke! Lol!
If this is what you call your "Last Case Scenario"...
Then what do you recommend to buy at First... ???
This is a GREAT Video... I did learn a lot...
Thank you for sharing this video.
will stick with my "Big Buddy" unit.
Thank you
What is the battery for? If it is required for use, then its the death note for any emergency use.
Its for electronic lighting of the pilot, so you dont have to keep hitting the button like on other Mr. Buddys. If the electronic ignition goes out, you can still light the pilot with a long lighter or match.
Maybe the door is to store your propane canister.not the hose.are these expensive rudy?
Can you run both the heater and cooker at the same time?
Can it be used in a tent safely?
Yes, I used an older model Mr. Buddy back in 2008ish in a tent in 20 degree weather all night. Never hurts to have a CO2 alarm with you for comfort.
@@susanlester1 Thank you for the information. Much appreciated
I’ll stick to my Big Buddy. Since it’s MY heater, i don’t need the 180 degrees, I’m the one directly in front of the heat. 🤪
I need help. I have a cottage on cape cod I like to go too for the weekends in the winter but unfortunately there’s no heat it’s about 1000 sq feet max. Does anyone recommend this? I’ve tried electric heaters but they suck lol
Thanks for a great video on this i would not of payed that much for it when you can get a rocket stove for 1/10 the price that never runs out of things to burn sticks propane butane but thanks reach one tech one is a great saying
Uhhhh, yea, no. Money wise, you'd be better off going with an 18,000 BTU Mr. Buddy $229CAD Canadian Tire and a 15,000 BTU Gas One stove $100CAD on Amazon. I'd also get the hoses to go to a large propane tank for both.
I bought a Big Buddy for heating emergencies. I think that is a overpriced toy version.
I dont like the fact that it needs a battery and a fuel source.
Might be a good back up in your car.
Nice New Toy! ... Agree with your assessment.
