      Comments about Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Heater:

      Living in Oregon, spring baseball means you could play in 60-70 degree weather, but most of the games are in 35-50 degree weather. It is not unheard of to play when snow is falling. The Mr Heater is perfect for us parents watching the game.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Mr. Heater Portable Buddy Heater:

        Bought and used this heater to heat a 10 man tent. Used it in the dead of winter during a 20 degree night. It heated the tent very well, I would however get the adapter for the larger tanks as the quart canister only lasted about 3-4 hours on high. I was very impressed with this heater, was worth every penny.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              • Q:

                Can I use this heater in a small camper van ?
                It would be real useful in our VW pop-up camper, I just was not sure if there was any emissions or breathing issues. I assume it is safe since it is advertised for RVs. We do have a 4yr old who camps with us.
                I have also heard there is a limitation with elevation.
                THANKS !

                  You turn down the knob and switch to the ignite position while clicking the electric ignition. Easy as pie.

                Does this heater put off the propane smell? We have a small heater now that after an hour or tow you may get a headache because of the smell. we only use it for ice fishing in the shanty.

                Is this a catalytic heater?

                • A:

                  Yes it is a catalytic heater, and a very efficient one at that! It can be used indoors, and has a low O2 sensor shut off. I am a fire department Lt. and paramedic. I have used, and continue to use this product with confidence. I find this product to be not only an efficient and quality product, but safe too. I would not use this product myself, much less endorse it, if it were not an efficient, safe, quality product. I hope this helps.
