yep its that one only red.. my small doesn't heat my little cabin if it gets down to freezing..cabin isn't insulated that well , but a kerosene heater warms it up nicely.. thinking the big buddy would be a safer option and do the job.... was thinking a 20 lb tank or even a larger one would be nice..I have one if it is the one u can put 2tanks on.

I use one with a 20lb tank in a 10x14 canvas tent. Had the same problem with the small one, it just took the chill out but that's all and not very well. The big heater will have us sitting around in shorts when it's 20s outside.
The one I have also has a battery op fan to move air
yep this has the fan also.. I just went and bought it...there is a store by me (kinda like a tractorsupply) that when you buy a 20lb tank for$29 the first fill is free, so I bought 2.The one I have also has a battery op fan to move air
the small was good for early fall or spring turkey.. i'm sure i'll find a use for it whether in a shower/out house or a deer blind... good little heater..I use one with a 20lb tank in a 10x14 canvas tent.

You can get shorter and cheaper hoses if you look at the ones for bbq pits.
If you run it on a 20lb be sure to use the filter.

Curious on the filters. The Mr Heater hoses say no filter required. I've read where on cheap hoses they can leach oil and clog up though.You can get shorter and cheaper hoses if you look at the ones for bbq pits.

I eneded up buying the hose that doesn't require a filter.. maybe that's not a good idea but that's the one I got.Curious on the filters. The Mr Heater hoses say no filter required. I've read where on cheap hoses they can leach oil and clog up though.
Do you have electric? If so I'd opt for a 5000W heater with fan. You can get them this time of year for around $90. For something small it works perfect and no risk of CO poisoning.
I have the Big Buddy with the blower that runs on D cell batteries. I used it in my popup camper a few years ago. I never trusted it without opening a window to vent though.
