Mr Heater Buddy Review - can it be used inside?
I believe that the Mr Buddy Heater is one of the best portable propane heaters.I can attest to its performance, I have one.
Evaluate your backup heat sources for the cold winter season.Go through a power outage scenario.It might last longer than a few hours.
The Mr Heater Buddy is a product I discovered and purchased.I have found them to be portable and effective for winter emergencies.
It is portable and safe indoors.It could be used for emergency heating at home.In a cabin, garage, workshop, trailer, RV, greenhouse, porches, patios, hunting blinds, etc.
If you heat with oil, natural gas,LP, or electric, chances are that there is a component that requires 120-volt electrical power to operate.There is a chance of a power outage.
The examples include a blower fan, pumps, electronic igniter, thermostat, etc.Your furnace will work when the power goes out.
Severe weather during winter is a common power outage scenario.The snow was heavy.There was a wind.Ice storms.Power goes out when trees and limbs come down.
A power outage during a winter storm will often last longer than you think due to the poor weather conditions and getting crews out there to begin repairs.).
During a power outage, the portable Mr Heater Buddy will work.
It is very efficient.I highly recommend that you have a carbon monoxide detector.Sleeping in space heated by any type of fuel is dangerous.I wouldn't sleep without a CO detector nearby.
The barbecue grill style propane tank can be connected to the heater for a long lasting fuel source.
The 1-lb propane bottles are more expensive than the following hose, so it might be a good idea to use it with a larger tank.).
This fits both the Buddy and Big Buddy.
You can refill your own 1lb cylinders with the 1# bottle refill adapter.
It is recommended to keep a 20 pound BBQ tank outdoors.You can snake the hose through a window.As you close the window on the hose, put a towel in the crack to keep the cold air out.
The heater may shut off at altitudes over 7,000 feet above sea level.The low oxygen shutoff is what it is.
You won't leave it on all the time.The propane fuel consumption numbers are listed here.
The use-case scenario could be to heat up the room and then shut it off.This way, it saves a lot of fuel.The longer it takes to cool down, the better the insulation in your home is.
During an emergency, it is better to ration your fuel and survive in a cooler home while wearing layers of warm clothes, rather than wearing a T-shirt.
