I’ve cold started three Mr Heaters with a 20lb propane tank. I always thought pushing the control knob down in the pilot position and holding it would bleed the line. I thought the off position meant “off”. My experience is a push in the pilot position takes about 15 to 20 seconds with a new line, tank and heater. Just my experience.
Yes, just bought a heater like this and you need to bleed the line after you hook it up for just 15-30 seconds in the pilot position, not the off position. And, the hose I attached to the 20 lb tank screws on in the normal clockwise configuration - not backward threaded.
@@robthoch I don't understand. The threads on flammable gas cylinder connections are reversed. It's impossible to screw on an attachment by turning it to the right. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you've said.
@@elizabetholiviaclark the hose or adapter Robert used must have been the bbq type. It threads on the outside of the valve (right hand thread) as opposed to the style used in this video (inside threads, left hand thread), either works fine.
I’ve got the Big Buddy heater and have used it for years. I bought both the 12’ Mr Heater hose with the regulator and a filter. I’ve not found it necessary to install the filter and I just use the 12’ hose with the regulator. My hose has the quick connection. It is necessary to hold the pilot button down for at least 30 seconds before clicking to light the pilot in order to purge the hose. My heater works just fine even above 9,000 ft without adjustment. What a great heater!
Lots of great and "simple to understand" tips there! One potential problem I will comment on (learned from operating my BBQ and installing a new propane tank in it) is the need to SLOWLY open the tank valve so that the regulator can allow full pressure to flow through it. Maybe the regulator on the Mr. Heater is not as sensitive, but maybe it is!
Thanks for the 15 min heads up. I definitely would have decided I bought it broke. I was not happy about the box implying there was a hose for operating with 20 lb plus tanks. At least it stated no ac adapter for the fan. Thanks for the tips bud👍👍✌
Use a long nose lighter (Bic/Scripto/etc) to assist with lighting it, while in the pilot mode hold it there till there is a flame, then and only then turn it to low..if you don't see the burner light up turn it off and start over. Mine has been used so much that it is impossible to light it any other way. Never allow it to flow gas when it is not lit, there is a sensor that will not allow gas to flow if the pilot is not burning. Expect to do maintenance on it about every 100 hours of use, propane will build up an oily substance in the aluminum fuel tubes inside of it, you'll need to remove them and blow them out and flush with naphtha or Coleman camp fuel to get it out. It isn't easy to do, and if you do this you'll realize the manufacture designed it that way so you'll just throw it away and buy a new one. You have to take everything apart in order to access the aluminum tubes..I'd buy another brand if there were any. I have found the filters to be ineffective at preventing oily build up, so I quit using them.
You have to hold it in the pilot position (not off position) and button down for 20 seconds to get air out of the system, then it will light right away.
And if you don't see the blue flame the first time, do the steps over until you do see the blue flame and then release the knob and turn it to LO or HI heat.
@@ArtLeeG Yup. From the "off", turn to "pilot". Then click it down and hold it for 10-15 seconds or so. Then click it down again and it should be blue flame. Turn it to "high" and protect your arm hairs. Once it's hot and orange, turn back to "low" and you're good to go
I got a Big Buddy and have not used it yet. I do have some of the 1 pound cylinders. But I love this idea of using the 20# bottle. Ok--does anyone on here know if you can refill the 20# tank from a residential size tank...mine is 250#. Appreciate you taking time to so thoroughly instruct us on this procedure. Jesus bless.
92 hours on low. 41 on high. Assuming that you have a full 4 gallons of propane in the tank. The Blue Rhino type sellers usually underfill their tanks.
When using the 20lb tank a great trick is to put a 2lb cylinder on the other side and then it will light off right away. Set to High heat for 10 minutes then turn off and remove 2lb cylinder. The heater will fire right back up on the 20lb tank.
@@Praetoria113-zm3no 10-4 My process: 20 lb knob ON. I turn Buddy knob to pilot and walk away for a few minutes. Then I turn Buddy knob to Off and wait a few minutes. Sometimes it lights now or repeat the process. I have an older Yellow Buddy and this works much better than keeping the line 'open'. Seems to want the line pressure to build somewhat. You know you're close when using a long fireplace lighter the flames dances in the breeze, lol.
Thanks Kevin for this very helpful video...Just hooked up my new Portable Buddy to a 20# tank . What worked for me, was holding down the pilot light, then pointing a barbecue lighter at the pilot to heat up the thermocoupler, & the Pilot light came right on...It was sooo easy, & it took only a minute or so for the whole process. 😃
As an auto mechanic of 30 years and currently running my own shop of 5 years, i must say, this is the best hands down video I have ever seen with no nonsense and rapidly getting to the facts in clear fasion. Bravo.
Totally Agree!! VERY straight to the point WITHOUT showing the speak..but ACTUALLY showing WHAT he's doing!!! THANK YOU @Kevin Robinson!! VERY, VERY helpful. I got a Buddy heater and a Little Buddy for my apartment. Only have the 1lb cans right now, but wanted to get a 10-20lb tank. Will have to check the labels on BOTH of them to get the CORRECT hoses and attachments.
I used a buddy heater, also keeping a Carbon Monoxide detector close by. To maintain the heat in my home during the deep freeze. Many neighbors had broken water lines, I had none. It never got below 65 degrees in my home. No Carbon monoxide detected. This is an Awesome Heater !
@@Danpstew1 got it, thanks. The Texas freeze caught me off guard last winter.....not this time. Got several Buddy heaters and three 20lb propane tanks. Won't get caught again.. thanks!
Thank you for such a great teaching video. I purchased a Buddy heater for winter outages. I'm a 65 year old retiree and I've never connected a propane tank to anything. I'm sitting here, waiting on my power to go out because of the current ice storm. Two more days of icing. I connected my heater without any leaks. Thank you again from a granny.
Interesting. I've a Mr Buddy myself. Mines the smaller one. I've had it 5 1/2 years with no problems. I'd recommend looking at and inspecting ALL gaskets and mounting surfaces before hooking up. Even new stuff can be defective. If and when you change propane tanks, check that the O ring gasket is good and properly seated on hose end, look too in propane tank mounting area for debris and that its gasket is proper. When I turn mine off, I turn off propane tank and let flame die out, then turn off Mr Buddy. This makes sure no gas is in the line. When starting, I turn on propane tank a 1/4 turn, put my Mr Buddy nob to pilot, press down and hold for 10 seconds, release, then hit again and it lights. I turn it to lowest setting first, this allows it to heat more slowly before going to the high setting. Mine only has low and high. It shouldn't take 15 minutes, especially when new, as it ages, periodically vacuum by the igniter, and also the front heat source while it's off AND cool. I use mine a lot. Very nice unit.
When I worked for the gas company. When I made my connections I never used the bubbles themselves to check for leaks. I got a spray bottle, mixed the water and dish soap in the spray bottle and then sprayed the connections I made. Does a much better and thorough job finding leaks.
@@jaysmokey Why? When all you need to check your connections is soapy water in a spray bottle. That's how all the people in my field do it. Because we have the search area narrowed down to the connections we just made. Now if you're looking for a leak and you don't know where it could be from then sure, break out the electronic sniffer. But you know what they do once they narrow it down with the electronic sniffer? They break out the soapy water in a spray bottle to pin point and confirm the exact spot of the leak.
@@frankschwartz7405 well, ain't you just grumpy? as long as you follow all procedures and use the proper equipment and make sure you have zero leaks then there is no problems using these types of heaters in doors. I would also recommend at the beginning of the season to have a pro inspect them too so that you can be sure that your appliance will burn efficiently and not give off toxic fumes such as carbon monoxide. They make it legal by all the steps and certain types of equipment needed to run these thing. Such as the hose it self is rated for much higher pressures than the propane is at and you are supposed to run a regulator with it too.
@@frankschwartz7405 lol. Right. Ok. Try running it without the regulator since you said you're not. I know the regulator is on the heater. That's one of many components that makes it safe to run indoors. Albeit only temporary though. These appliances were never ment to be a permanent solution. Just as a backup or temporary for something like camping...
THANKS MAN. my hose had to be turned LEFT direction. COUNTER CLOCKWISE. ..LEFTY LOOSY in order to go in. I was befulddled, hungry , under pressure to look cool in front of some females. ..KUDOS.
Lefty loosely on the new tanks if you are using the other threads. The inside threads are the old style Lefty tighty. All gas tanks are like that even welding gas bottles the one pound bottles are standard right tight and left loose. 73
Great video but you forgot one thing. From Mr Heater PDF instructions. ''Note: Teflon Tape or Pipe Dope approved for propane gas applications is necessary to seal Pipe Thread Fitting Only!''
Spend a few extra bucks and get the hose that does not require a filter. I think 80% of the problems people have with these heaters is pilot light goes out. I can tell you that the issue is the connection at the tank. The tank connection is very finnicky - too tight and the o-ring on the brass adapter blocks fuel flow. Too loose and the tank will not provide a fuel flow. To get 100% reliable operation, you need to mess with the tank connection until you get fuel flow.
you can get a hose that does not require a filter by using part # F271803, it's a 12' hose, or F273704 for a 10' hose. F273702 & F272699 for a 12' and filter; or F273701 and F273699 for a 5' hose and filter
Exactly. Over time, it will be cheaper to buy the factory hose, versus replacing a lot of filters. More importantly, who knows if filters will be available to you when your power is out and every guy in town is burning his propane heater.
I'm 59 and never have worked with any gas appliance. I bought a Buddy heater as a wintertime insurance policy. This is the only video I've watched that makes me feel comfortable enough to try it out. THANK YOU!!! I may ty it out today!
I am a 76 year old lady who also has never had experience with propane. I bought myself a Mr. Heater Buddy Portable heater and I am completely comfortable using it with 1# canisters or the 20# tank. I am also comfortable refilling the 1# tanks from the 20# tank so as to save money and not buy a bunch of 1# disposables.
A better way to leak check the gas fitting, is to simply use a small bowl partially filled with about 1/4 cup of water then put several drops of Dawn liquid soap into the water and gently stir the mixture with a small spoon until it's mixed without creating any bubbles then spread the mixture over the fitting with a small 1 inch brush... If there are any leaks, bubbles will appear from the smooth mixture so you can see exactly where it's leaking.
If you use bubbles to check for leaks you will not see new bubbles. The soap is to help it "stick to the threads then if it leaks bubbles will form. Great comment!
I am the kind of guy that checks for gas leaks with an open flame and a damp rag. I would loosen the filter from the heater and bleed the air out in a well ventilated area. But that is just me and I have good insurance.
Actually you're supposed to put it on high first after the pilot lights.... Then once the ceramic tile is good and hot switch to low if that's the setting you want it at.
I watched a bunch of videos and this one is among the very best. Thank you! I particularly like the soap FOAM trick, makes so much sense. Sitting in Central Texas right now watching the local electric coop list the outages. I'm not happy but I at least feel competent to tackle adversity.
Next time purge the air out of the line before connecting it to the heater. This will save you valuable time if you are outside in inclement weather or you need heat in less than 15min
I saw a suggestion that having the Mr. Buddy elevated above the 20 lb propane tank will make for a faster purging of the line on first startup. The theory is that propane is heavier than air so the air will stay on top of the propane as it is vented. If the heater and tank on the same level the propane and air kind of mix equally and it takes longer to get a pure propane stream to ignite the pilot.
Hello, as someone who knows a thing or two about LP appliances and applications, I hope this comment helps someone. For the Big Buddy use the hose with part number F271803 or whatever equivalent 3rd party hose equipped with a low pressure regulator and 3/8" quick disconnect. I've become frustrated (and to that note, not Kevin's fault) with all the resources seeming to default pointing to some hose with a "filter" or some other magical hose that doesn't require a filter when connecting the Big Buddy to a 20 lb tank. The reason why these hoses need a filter is because high pressure hoses especially when not properly bled after each use will degrade the plasticizers in the rubber and introduce contaminants in the line. The only reason why these hoses exist is because the smaller Buddy portable does not come equipped with a 3/8" male quick disconnect. For the Big Buddy model, there's just no sense in running 12 ft of high pressure LP line requiring additional built-in high-flow safety restrictor into a fuel filter to then be stepped down by a regulator to operating pressure when there is a quick disconnect available to run a low pressure line straight to the unit at operating pressure. Low pressure LP lines will last a whole lot longer and do not need to be filtered as there is no risk to the rubber degrading and bleeding contaminants. Additionally, there is no "cold start" nonsense with the low pressure line--the unit fires right up without a hiccup.
My brother had a Mr. Buddy heater. With his, you moved the indicator to pilot and depressed the pilot button for one minute (that expelled the air in the line) then you lit the pilot light with a long nose lighter and held the button for 30 seconds, while the thermocouple heated up. After that, you turned the button to on and a flame came up. You pointed out the clear plastic nipples covering the propane tubes, some folks forget about those and have to call the manufacturer before they can get their heater running. Very good video, as always. Thank you.
@@clydet7536 So, Clyde, do you build all your own stuff from raw material that you processed yourself? If not, someone profited off you. Even Forrest Gump isn't that stupid.
If you get the Mister Heater 10' hose you don't need a filter. All other of their hoses you will need a filter. It states on the back of the packaging on the 10' that no filter is needed.
Speaking from experience. DO NOT use a non-Mr. Heater hose!! The oils from the hose will clog up the heater and you will be forced to disassemble and clean out all the piping.
Kevin. There's a problem with what you're recommending. The hose that your showing in your video will cause a problem after sometime even though it is a Mr. Heater hose. The filter will later clog and pass into the heater. Instead it's recommended by Mr. Heater to use the new style 10foot hose that doesn't require a filter.
I have the Big Buddy hooked to a 20lb tank with a filter running right now. The same setup we have used tent camping numerous times. Love the Buddy heaters. We own more than one.
If you use this for emergency heat in your home, does the tank stay inside or does it have to be ran through a window or something? Sorry if this is a dumb question but all of this is new to me.
Not a dumb question You should have it outside I have seen campers with them inside but vented to the outside you must always use the soapy water to check for leaks with the valve on. Thank you for the comment.
Kevin you are awesome that was the best gas leak detector I have ever seen. This technique could let you use a 20LB tank indoors with peace of mind. Thank You
@@KRay-fb2vf If ANY fire happens whether the tank causes it or not, greedy insurance companies could use the tank being inside as an excuse not to pay a claim.
After opening up the valve on the tank to the heater you need to wait a bit for the hose to fill up. After done, just turn off the valve on tank and let the heater go out on it's own. Takes about two minutes or sonto burn off gas in the hose.
one pound tank lasts about six hours so: six times twenty would equal 100 to 120 hours; low would increase time. This would be my guess. So, if you ran it for 10 hours a day = 12 days; constant would be six days. $18.00 propane.
@@benjaminrush4443 Ok, so those figures were running it on high setting? So if it was on medium setting would all those figures be double or so? I only have a 400 square foot apartment, do you think it would heat on medium heat setting?
The fact that it took 15 minutes for you to be able to turn it on... did NOT exactly help the positive advertisement for Mr. Heater Buddy. I would have put it back in the box and taken it back to the store. I'm just glad you SHOWED us that we maybe have to do that... Thank you!!
To eliminate or "shorten" the 15 minutes, you can connect hose to filter and then turn on the gas which fills the hose and purges most of air bubbles out. You only need to run it 10-15 seconds and if your outside the gas won't hurt you. Then immediately close the valve and instantly connect the other end to the heater. Yes, you waste a little gas running it 10-15 seconds But you will eliminate the 15 minutes delay.
I would also like to add a tip for lighting. If you are hooking up a new tank and it takes a long time to ignite the pilot light is to use a grill lighter on the thermocoupler while holding the knob down. It will light in a few seconds vs lots of sparking with the igniter.
Thank thank you this has been the most helpful video by far on how to attach the propane hose and tank,thanks for pointing out the instruction label and the heater on the vendor numbers for accessories👍👍👍👍
Thanks! Yep you're right. It took me at least 12 minutes of holding it down to get all the air out. I was going to give up and thought the heater was broken but after holding down 12 minutes it finally worked! Thanks.
Well when bleeding the air out turn it to pilot not off and hold button down for 30 seconds or so. That's Why It took Him 15 minutes. Once you've done that Leave switch in pilot position and push switch down several times to ignite. Note that some. Of the larger buddy. Heaters use à electronic ignition which require batteries to start. The others do not require batteries as they have a piezoelectric ignition system
Sir you have helped me. I have My Buddy heater and wanted to know equipment and process for attaching to 20 lb tank. Thank you very much. My husband is sick and can’t do this and I am not knowledgeable on subject. Bless you!
I THINK U NEED TO have it turned to PILOT to get the gas to come thru the thing... OFF is... OFF???? the PILOT DOWN setting by passes the thermocouple so u can light the pilot without the pilot light going out... while thermocouple warms up a min and THEN release the PUSHED DOWN PILOT button... see if pilot stays lit, if yes... turn to ON and go on. if pilot goes out, push PILOT knob down again, hold it there, light pilot... wait a min or so for thermocouple to warm up enuf so it wont turn off the pilot light when release the pushed DOWN PILOT / ON knob. yes? no?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Sir you saved me SO much aggravation and anxiety. I’ve never used a 20lb propane tank in my life but our furnace is dying and it’s freezing in the house, the 1lb propane cylinders keep selling out and are so expensive, the fireplace doesn’t do diddlysquat to warm up the house. I was nervous about a gas leaks but I followed your video step by step so I’m confident I’ve done the safety checks, and I’m finally able to warm up the house when it drops below 30degrees outside. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I know you have the 20lb tank already, but you can get an adapter to refill the 1lb bottles with the 20lb tank for much, much cheaper than buying new ones, just in case you have other uses for the bottles
No power for 9 weeks tomorrow .I s arguing over estimate for havac not getting wiring and meter back first. Had to try something .I hate gas my sister in Illinois says I'm paranoid.she cooks and heats with gas
I would suggest to run a longer propane supply hose from the buddy heater to the 20# propane tank and store the 20# propane tank outdoors. Safety first! Just my opinion. 😊 Opinions may vary.
I want to chime in concerning some of the hose part numbers mentioned in the comments and whether or not an in-line filter is needed…if you purchase Mr. Heater “Big/Tough Buddy 12 ft Propane Hose Assembly with Regulator” (Quick Connect x Regulator w/Acme Nut) with either part number F271803 or part number F271804, you DO NOT NEED AN IN-LINE FILTER. These 12 ft hoses are constructed of materials that do not degrade nor contaminate the propane entering the heater with its’ own in-line regulator at the tank hook up end. You will not hook up into the Mr. Heater left-hand side regulator as shown in this video, hence these hose’s female quick-disconnect will hook straight up to the male quick-disconnect fitting that sits right behind the Mr. Heater’s built-in regulator on the left-hand side of the heater as you face it (neither built-in regulator, left or right-hand side will be used). I’ve been using these hoses for years on my three model MH18B Big Buddy Heaters with built-in fans and have never had a single problem. These hoses I mentioned run about $50-60 each and are well worth the small investment so you can run 20lb or otherwise cylinders. Purge the air from your 12ft hose in the pilot position until you smell a little gas flow, then turn the control knob off. Let that little bit of propane dissipate in the air, then light the heater as normal. For those that are looking for an a/c adapter for the built-in fan if you have the older MH18B models, so you don’t have to be dependent on D batteries all the time, I purchased three a/c adapters from Amazon years ago. The a/c adapters have PWR+ on the front, on the rear of the plug they have Model # PWR-TAA06008, Item # PF8-UL, Input 100-240V AC, Output 6V DC 0.8A. I’m sure Amazon still sells them, and I think they were about $10/ea if memory serves, but don’t quote me on that. The fan on a/c power runs slightly more rpm/air flow than running on D batteries. This a/c adapter cord is about 6 ft 6 in long. Hopefully this info will help some of you folks looking to get off the expensive 1lb propane bottle train (unless you refill them from a 20lb or larger cylinder with the right adapter) and the expense of D batteries at times if you have a 110v outlet nearby or run a short length extension cord to get you where you need to go with the a/c fan adapter. Semper Fi!
Thank you for a very clear, very understandable video that gets right to the point! I bought my Big Buddy Heater and am now ready to start it up for the first time. These instructions will get me safely going. Thanks again!
You were doing great untill the water & soap ..lol ..mix water & soap ,but don't shake ,you have defeated the whole purpose ! Best way is put in a cup..stir lightly to mix soap & water ...soak a cotton ball or small brush in solution .apply to fitting threads ...a bubble will appear if leaking..you can buy soap leak solution from HVAC suppliers,includes applicator ...cheers (HVAC tech)
I had a set up like what you’re describing at a farmhouse I lived at years ago. The whole house was plumbed for it. Used multiple large gas bottles like you’re describing for the heater, and also the hot water system.
I believe there has been an update to the Amazon listing. Now they recommend using their 10' hose assembly (F273704) which does NOT require the filter. Apparently, when this video was made and using the F273701 hose that hose was made with oils in the rubber that can leach out under pressure. Hence, the need for a filter so the oil doesn't gum up the internals of the Big Buddy heater. The new hose (F273704) is made without oil so there is nothing to leach out and cause problems with the Big Buddy. Is this correct?
Yep! That's what I did too. The 10' hose lets me move the heater away from the tank. I can't remember but they say the type of hose allows you to not have to use a filter. Mine is the older heater with the fan. I love that option. And of course I have a carbon monoxide meter handy. The only time it went off was when the tank was almost empty and the pressure was low and caused insufficient buen.
@@patricksnead6546 That's interesting you mention that your heater has a fan and it is an older model. Seems like I've seen other comments about them not putting a fan in their heaters anymore. But, I just bought my heater a month ago at the local Lowes and it does have the fan. I wouldn't think Lowes has such old stock around but maybe they do. Or, maybe Big Buddy changed their mind and started putting fans back into their heaters after public demand.
@@STBRetired1 Hopefully they listened to their customers. Even if it is older stock, they're still good heaters. Wish I could find the power supply for the fan. D-cell batteries aren't cheap!
Thank you!!! You saved my life!! I have watched many videos and yours is the only one that helped me. I am deathly afraid of gas in any form so you really helped! I'm a vanlifer and came down w that damn covid in my van alone in negative weather on Christmas Eve so nothing was open and since I was in the hospital I missed getting fuel smh it was a nightmare but it's all better now!!! Thank you and thank Jesus!! God bless you!! ✌🏼💙
To get started, hold the red valve down in the “Pilot” position for about 30 seconds, then quickly turn to the “Off” position and back to “Pilot”. Hold for another 30 seconds or so.
Kevin, thanks for the video very informative clear precise, and good solid verbal instructions. Probably order one for my new workshop. I have three Inch styrofoam insulation sheets in-ceiling and all walls. A friend told me I could probably heat it with a candle LOL. Thanks and we Naomi and I appreciate you and Julie.
I think people get confused on two issues. 1. Mr. heater sells some hoses that require a filter and some that do not. The hoses that do not are made out of a different material that does not leach oils under high pressure from the propane tanks. The 1lb bottles are low pressure, but anything larger is high pressure. Why Mr. heater would sell hoses that require a filter is ridiculous. If someone purchases an aftermarket hose, then I can see the filter being required. 2. All Mr. heaters have a fixed regulator to the heater that cannot be removed (as shown in this video). When using anything other than the 1lb bottles, some people make the mistake of using a hose with a regulator on it, which leads to overregulation as there is the regulator at the heater as you clearly shoe. Only the newer larger Mr. heaters have a quick connect next to the fixed regulator that bypasses that regulator. In that scenario you can use a hose with a regulator on. Mr. Heater sells a 12 foot hose with a quick connect that does not require a filter. With the quick connect there is no way to attach a filter.
Does anybody know if Mr. Heater makes a little tiny Mr. Heater so I can run it all day? I'm in a Van holder eater. Just cook my a** I need something that's totally gay. And uses very little fuel
Kevin - your videos have helped me many times. (Runaway battery bolt down, Runaway window sun shade install, and more.) I am planning my first winter camping trip in January and already have a Mr Buddy heater. Your video explains the easy way to use a 20# tank. Thank you for that! I have watched several videos that tried to show viewers the same thing, but they do not seem safe or offer the details that your video shows. Well done my friend! Keep the great videos coming. Dan in MD
This may be a lame question, but is a 5-gallon tank the same thing as a 20-lb one? I have a new 5-gallon one that I am about to hook up myself. I am terrified, but a friend came over and showed me last week how to do this. I am using it indoors (have been with the 1 ln cylinders) but I needed more because I don't have the money for the 1 lb ones anymore. It's insane, they are $6 a piece or more!! I too, am in my late 60s with no one to help me do this. Wish me luck!!!
If you want it to light quicker just purge the line before attaching it. Attach line to 20lb tank and open valve, depress the valve in the end of the hose that attaches to the heater and in about 2 seconds the line will be purged of air. Attach it to the heater and she is ready to light.
I have had a heater buddy, and so have some of my friends. We all agree that Heater buddy doesn't last. Only a year, and at best 2 years. I will never own another one.
Thank you for the step by step instructions. You make this simple and easy to do. Can't wait to hook up the big tank and get rid of the small bottles. Thanks again.
