Just be sure to run an in-line filter from the 20lb hose into buddy heater. The 1lb propane is cleaner than the refills you get for the big ones. I have a heater that is clogged and won't work because my sons chose not to use the filter I included with the heater.
I’m using my Buddy heater in my hunting blind right now. The 1 pound propane just ran out, 4 hours on low. 🧡 Lorie 😊 P. S. Had to put my phone down to get a buck 🦌 I’m so excited!!!
That’s awesome! I had a similar situation a few years ago. I wasn’t expecting to see anything, so I was messing around on my phone, looked up, and saw a deer.
@@diypreppertv you’re not gonna believe this, but I got a second one a few minutes later 😂. Ended up with an 11 pt and 7 pt. Would have been a 13 and 8 if they wouldn’t have both broken tines. This is my first year deer hunting. I got a really big doe my first night during bow hunting. I gutted both of these guys tonight by myself while my husband held the legs. 😂
I hadn't seen this one before. Thanks!! (Our local news channels are already telling us to expect power outages this winter, and we're in Tennessee - not Texas. So being prepared is key wherever you are!)
I have the Buddy flex with the cooker attachment. If youre cooking with it, its putting off the same amount of heat as the heater. Its a lot of heat on either burner. I use it on cold nights in my small greenhouse house. Keeps it 40-50 degrees.
Great video JR. Up here, an alternative heat source is paramount. I use wood mostly but also have a large dynaglow kerosene heater. It's awesome, and I can use it in a sealed environment without dying...lol. Flexibility is key for sure in the winter, so stay warm and stay prepared. Cheers from Alberta!
They used to sell miniature portable gas heaters in the 1970's and 1980's through to about 1997 then they stopped selling them here in the UK, we cant buy the heaters or the gas to fit them anymore... I remember seeing old ones from the 1980's they got thrown out as there wasnt gas for sale anymore to fit them... There used to be household gas heaters that took 30lb to 40lb gas bottles which were aimed primarily at old folks staying in older houses without up to date heating systems ,they had a ceramic plate on the front and a dial with a piezo ignitor on the top and were about the 2/3 the size of a front loading washing machine ,if that description of size makes any sense to the reader, just trying to give an idea of sizing for those in the USA ....these heaters were often referred to as "Calor gas heaters" and were sold quite cheaply at around $150-$200 as the money was made in the sales of gas bottles/canisters.. Indont think they make those cabinet style gas heaters any more as they fell out of favour and also there were concerns with fire risk, carbon monoxide risks put a lot of people off of gas heaters quickly and also years later in 2023 (its late November 2023) the environmental green agenda would probably have them banned anyway...
Buddy Heaters are fantastic. Buti I think it's a good idea to shore up your backup plan. Yes on the Buddy, you can't go wrong. But also get a diesel heater...Equally priced or maybe even cheaper, a diesel heater will throw just as much (or more) heat and run for a long long time on a gallon of diesel fuel. During down times, one fuel or the other might be hard to come by...leave yourself options...IMO.
I have both of these plus the small one that screws directly onto the bottle along with a hose for a 20 lb propane tank. So far I haven't had to use them. The flex is a real game changer.
I HAVE A BIG BUDDY IN MY SHOP . 200 SQ FEET IT KEEPS IT WARM NOT MATTER HOW COLD IT IS . I KEEP A SMALL BUDDY FOR EMERGENCY ISSUES IN THE HOUSE . I USE 20LB TANKS THEY WORK GREAT . HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE .
I have 2 of these with a grill propane tank. Just found the filter that is recommended for larger tanks. Also have a refill device for the 1lb canisters.
JR, pick up a big buddy heater a year before the ice storm. For my camper. Since then I picked up a five gallon bottle, twelve foot hose, propane filter and a couple extra accessories, it sure is nice when the electricity went out, kept it warm in the living room. Nothing but peace and quit. Thank you for your informational series.
We love our Lil’ Buddy and have had it for years. We just added the Big Buddy to our supplies. These are great heaters with terrific safety features. They get the job done and are easy to use. Highly recommended.
Hi, JR, thanks - very timely. We just lost our furnace for a day on Sat. - was down to -10C, our coldest day so far. Got the pilot light re-lit, had power, but since our furnace electronic controls went caput, no furnace. (Apparently, others in our area, too - possibly/ likely due to a solar CME/ coronal mass ejection, and its extra energy, which apparently reached Earth in the early morning hours on Sat. and the extra energy stream lasted much of the day. Something to keep in mind...) Since we had electricity, used 2 heating pads and 3 space heaters (including one of those tiny "miracle" heaters advertised - ONLY for the smallest rooms!), but still didn't make a dent in the cold in our basically big open-space home (had the mini-heater in the smallest bedroom, along with a heating pad under the fuzzy blanket, but our 17-yr. old cat wouldn't ruddy STAY in there - wanted to be where "the action" was. Sheesh!). Since we are renters and have no ability to put in a wood-stove, have been looking at options. Have now got 2 100 W solar panels, but not yet been able to afford any sort of inverter/ storage batteries, or a generator. We also have to worry about the basement and the pipes freezing - not a factor this time, as there is an electric heater on a temp/ timer & we had power. Concerned about NEXT time, as we often get down to -20C, and with high humidity from a big lake nearby, it gets bone-chillingly COLD. Saw a vid on old-fashioned kerosene heaters from the late 1800s/ early 1900s - beautiful, and meant to be used indoors, but sadly they are very hard to find. Safe to use indoors. Not sure whether to save for a Big Buddy heater next, or what, due to the TWO separate spaces we need to heat. Since haven't worked since early 2010 due to injuries, the lack of moolah is a real issue. Am sure there are others in a similar pickle. Cheers!
I have the Buddy Heater but have never used it. I have been a little scared of it and was unsure how to light it. Thank you for a great explanation. If needed I will use it this winter for sure. May get it out and turn it on just to be sure I have it right. Thanks again.
Propane just creates so much condensation. I took the time to get a wood stove going. And I made a portable set up from a diesel heater. I like the little buddy when you're outside. But going inside, tio much condensation.
In our experience, the big buddy heater lasted 2.5 - 3 hours on the 1lb green cylanders purchased from Walmart. Low or high didn't seem to make much difference. The 1lb cylinders from REI (cost double) lasted 4-5 hours. Again low or high made no difference. We were far from home on a deep woods camping trip in 40 degree Temps. I had just picked up extra 1lb propane tanks on our way that I was NOT planning on using. But we went thru ALL of them. Ever since that trip several years ago, I've been very skeptical of the Buddy heaters!! I wonder if the new version would be better. The smell in the very large tent had our dog freaking out trying to get us out of the tent urgently while the buddy heater was used. The Walmart tanks smelled the worst, but even with a lil ventilation and a carbon monoxide monitor (that never alerted to any danger), we did not have a great experience with that heater. But, we were able to stay warm while the heater was on!! I'm curious about the Buddy Flex. Hmmm
That's weird. I've used my buddy Heater all around the west coast and I never had smell issues. I can't tell you about the amount of time they lasted though because I used them in my tent then fell asleep. Do you think you had it too close to the side of the tent or another fabric which got too hot maybe?
I’ve used my Buddy in my hunting blinds with temps in the 20s,and of course the windows are open to shoot out of , keeps me pretty warm . Used them in long term power outages ( multiple days ) at home one green tank lasts most of the night so I’d say 6 hours seems right .
You might want to check out the new Vevor diesel heaters, they blow the buddies out of the water. I have been using buddies for years in the ice hut and they always put condensation into the room.
Great video 😊👍 do you notice any acid oder from your heaters. One of Mine has a smell that iritates the eyes and the throat a little. But only when attached to a 20 pounder with filter. Haven't tried it without the filter. Works good with 1 pounders. I have read on line where others have had this problem and think it might be the paint on the grill. Just curious if you have seen this. I love my buddy's I have a few and think this company makes great products. This was a great review thank you. 😊👍
If I walk out of a room with a heater and come back shortly after, I can smell burning propane. Otherwise, I get fairly used to it. However, some sort of ventilation is always good to have.
This is a great video. Buddy Heaters are awesome. I have two, and multiple propane tanks. Also make sure to get the adapter hose for the 5 gallon tanks. These are one of my number one preps. When you are without heat, it is a mind blowing, and scary experience.
Hey JR, good timing on this video. I just bought a Big Buddy and a quick connect hose. I haven't even had them delivered yet. It has a regulator on the hose that sits close to the 20 pound propane tank. I think they said that with this kind of hose with a regulator you don't need a filter on the hose. They say the thing that pushes debris from the hose into the Buddy heater is high pressure in the hose. But with the regulator on the hose the propane will move through the hose with little pressure. So, it shouldn't cause any debris to get into the heater. Just wondering if I understood this correctly and do you agree that a regulator in the hose (close to the big propane tank) will keep the pressure in the hose minimal so no debris should get pushed through it into the heater?
You should be able to use it in a basement with some ventilation. There are minimal fumes, but carbon monoxide is always a concern when you have an open flame. Having a battery operated carbon monoxide detector is a must.
@@diypreppertv Thanks for answering my question what if you seal all basement windows online if there was an attack is there other ideas to ventilate the heaters or camp stoves that run on propane and yes I do have a carbon monoxide detector if you have any ventilation ideas pleade let me know because I did buy a new Coleman stove still in the box but I did buy the heater and stove heater that runs on canned heat I did tested and it is by far the best investment when it comes to heating up water and canned goods as well as heat amazing gadget Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question but again if you have any ideas on ventilation in basement if SHTF circumstances again great channel god bless you
Your better off having 2 . Running on 4000 btu over running one on 10 or more trying to heat more space both tanks wii run 4.3 days on tanks that are refilled at station exchanged tanks in my area cot 21 dollars for 15 pounds of propane or 18 dollars for 20 pounds recharge at a station. Note exchanged tanks loose 1 day of heat per tank. Not good in power down. I run 5 tanks 2 heaters need more tanks for long power down

Live in a van by choice . Used mr buddy for years . They rock !
Thanks for watching Harold!
Got one with 20 lb propane bottles!😊😊😊
I need to get some more 20-pounders. I use them for the generator too, so they could go fast. Lol. Thanks for watching!
We have an RV, so we have 4 20lb tanks in total.
Just be sure to run an in-line filter from the 20lb hose into buddy heater. The 1lb propane is cleaner than the refills you get for the big ones. I have a heater that is clogged and won't work because my sons chose not to use the filter I included with the heater.

Thanks for sharing!

Just got a Eco fan sat it on my diffuser to get rid of the inversion layer . Spendy for my budget , but works great 😊
I really love how you explain stuff, I thank you so much for your valuable info.
Great review cant wait to get me a flex
Thank you!

Hmmm, we just had seven inches of snow we did not expect. Didn't lose power, but still.....
I don’t think anyone expected the mess in 2021 to be like it was either. Usually it lasts for 2 days or so. We stayed home for over a week.
Good video thanks
Thank you!

Can you use it inside or basement and is there any fumes???
You should be able to use it in a basement with some ventilation. There are minimal fumes, but carbon monoxide is always a concern when you have an open flame. Having a battery operated carbon monoxide detector is a must.
