Shanty heater ?

[fishinnut_3446]

Would like to hear from some of you that have a heater/cooker with the 1lb. tanks good/bad?

I have a little buddy and 2 big buddy's, but I was looking at these I kind of like the idea of being able to heat something up morning or midday.

And I noticed on high setting it's 15k btu and my little buddy is 9k do they put out that much heat for such a small heater?

There was a thread on here last year on how to use your Big Buddy to heat food. It works pretty good.

Yes they put out alot of heat when needed, mine has been modded to go closer to 20,000 high end, 2500 low end but runs on a 20# tank....

Thanks highlife I'll look into that.

Esox, Does your heater/cooker take awhile to cool down, wouldn't want to melt my shanty moving spot to spot.

I have used Mr Heater for years until I got a little Buddy . I still use Mr Heater to make a pot of coffee every day in my shack . It heats up fast and cools down fast , probably cold enough to touch within 2 minutes . The main reason I switched to Buddy was for the quietness of the Buddy
