Otter Cabin Heater

[harleyharry]

I am putting the final touches on a new Otter Cabin. I have downsized to this size for weight purposes.

My question is will the Buddy Heater heat the Cabin on zero degree days, or should I use the Mr. Buddy. The Buddy Heater is a little smaller in dimension and a little less weight.

As always, appreciate the input.

I have the Big Buddy for my Otter Lodge and there are times I wish that it would put out more heat. The cabin is smaller but with the 3 heat settings I think it would work out better in the long run and there is not that much difference in size and weight.

I have a buddy heater and an otter cabin and when it is zero or probably even warmer than that I have to fire up the sunflower. I dont have a big buddy, but from what I here it would be a better fit.

I have a little buddy heater. It would work nice in my 5800 with 2 adults in a teen plus temp. Anything lower and it would start getting chilly. I always use my sunflower fo my flip over now, but I will still keep my little buddy for my old shack.

The only problem I found was the propane would get so cold in those one pound tanks it would stop working. I had a ton of half tanks, that I need to bring for next time.

One of my fishing buds has the big buddy. We used it last weekend, and I was impressed with the fan option to help. I would go with that if I were you.

Go with the Big Buddy. You can never have enough heat!! I has three settings,so you can turn it down.Also I dont use the one pound tanks. Go to at least a 10 lbs. bulk tank. One more sugestion,propane is dirty, get a filter(that they sell) and add that. You should never have a problem!! They should start going on sale. About $95.00. Good Luck

that is a great price, If I remember right I paid like $96 for mine and thought that was pretty good.

I picked up one of the Big Buddy's on Amazon last night, thanks for the tip Wallabee. I also picked up the quick connect hose with the regulator because on the Mr. Heater site it stated that a filter wasn't necessary with that hose.

I use a heater/cooker in mine. Never have a need to go over the low setting. It will blast you out of there.

Wallabee, you just solved my delima for me. Thanks for the heads up on the heaters at Amazon.

And thanks to all the others who answered my post. I knew I could count on ya all.
