Buddy heater case Tip


Ed Carlson

Recommended Posts

I stumbles onto a case made by Coleman for there compact Fold 'n Go™ Stove that is a perfect fit for the Buddy Mr.Heater.

What I like is the touch more vertical room and it has bonus inside storage for the hose as needed. Price wise they run $29 and are found in the camping departments at your sporting goods store, or in the outdoors cooking department. If your looking for a case for your Buddy Heater for the portable, be sure to check this one out.

* Heavy duty padded PVC coated carry bag

* Two exterior pouches for extra 1# tank storage

* Two inside pockets for hose or whatever.

Would a big buddy heater fit in that also?

I seen Coleman also have a larger model. I have not tried that one yet so I can't say how they will fit a Big Buddy.

The model I recommended fits the Buddy extremely well.

It would depend on if the larger Coleman model is wide enough, as the Big Buddy is thicker. The length and height looks right, just not so sure about the thickness?

I have seen and used the Cabela's case. I think the Coleman case is better made and offers more room and dry storage options internally. Hose storage on the Cabela's case is on the outside if I remember right. Given the chance compare them both and see.

I just use a Cabela's bag.They make it for both sizes of Buddy's.

I use this bag as well. I'm able to keep the quick connect hose connected to the heater and just coil it up inside the back of the bag.

Nice find Ed, what you got for the Mr.Heater Cooker? I suppose it would fit in that one but you could probaly even go smaller with the cooker. Mine take a beating in the portable behind the sled.

Yup...it fits, with ample room to spare.

You may even get in a light duty folding camp style fry pan in the inside side pocket as well. Possibly even a plate or two, and accompanying camp utensils.

ED, seeing if I got this right...It will hold a typical Heater/ cooker as well?

No, it would fit the Buddy alone, or a Cooker/Heater...not both at the same time. At least that particular case would not hold both. It would work for one, or the other.

The larger Coleman Case might hold both, but I can't say that for sure as I have not got a hold of the larger one yet to check it out.

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
