Hey Guys

The best heater to pick up is a single camping stove that takes the little green cylinders. You can pick one up at Crappy Tire, Walmart, Le Baron, Sail etc
They're about 24 dollars and the green cylinders are like 3 for 9 dollars.
It pushes out 10,000 btu and it's great to heat up your portable fish hut (also can heat up a can of soup).




I also use a one burner butane camp stove...great to have a warm cup of tea out there!!

WIre mesh over the flame helps if you dont want an open flame.

Got to get this clear

3 sizes of Buddies

litle buddy.basic model and no auto start feature.......not efficient enough for 4 man pop-up

Mr. buddy is most popular with enough BTU and adjustable heat features.

On high till popup warms up, then low to meduim. cylinder lasts for 4-6 hrs.

I just refill mine......

Big Buddy.....too big to tote around and not necesary for pop ups imo.

HIH.......

3 sizes #1 little buddy 3800 BTU good for -1 to -10 that's it

#2 Mr Buddy 4000 to 9000 BTU good choice ok for 4 man hut

#3 Big Buddy 4000 , 9000 , 18000 best choice but a little overkill for 4 man hut

Good choice

It works great in my Clam base camp

I alos put on a small homemade bracket to stop the pilot lite from having the wind blow it out.

I posted pic of this unit last year for some members. actually another board member created it and works great
