Thanks. Looks good, but probably not worth $80 for the limited use it would see in AZ.

If you use a portable tank make sure you get inline filter. The oils in the hose will over time clog the heater and it wont fire up

If I'm cold I just put some clothes on

But I also have one of these heaters. Works well if you stay within 10 feet

I have one just like it, but it’s called a Mr. heater. I picked it up probably 14 or 15 years ago at Pep Boys believe it or not. Works great. I bought an adapter so I can hook up a 5 gallon propane tank to it if I want. I used to use it in the back of my truck when I went riding and camping. Now since I don’t ride it’s just for camping. It’s also great to just prop up next to you on the tailgate if you don’t feel like getting a campfire going or can’t because of restrictions.

I got a Mr Buddy like that. Works great. Put it in a pop up blind deer hunting with my 7 year old last winter. It was -15 and we were sitting in the blind with no gloves on. My daughter made me turn it off at one point.

Anyone have one of the older models that doesn’t have the tip-over safety mechanism in it? Saw one in use once and they’re pretty sweet. Many more applications of use
