Our take on the Big Buddy Portable Heater - Massachusetts and Canada version

The Mr. Heater Big Buddy is a radiant propane heater that runs on two 1 lb cylinders and puts out 4,000 to 18,000 BTU, enough for roughly 450 sq ft. It lights with a push-and-turn knob and a built-in piezo spark, and it shuts off on low oxygen or if it tips over. Two swivel regulators let you switch from disposable cylinders to a remote tank with one hose and filter. It suits garages, workshops, job sites and covered patios where there is no power; against smaller single-cylinder Buddy heaters it heats more space and gives you a low, medium and high setting, at the cost of more weight and faster fuel use.

About the Big Buddy Portable Heater - Massachusetts and Canada version

The Big Buddy is a portable radiant heater that runs on liquid propane. It produces 4,000 to 18,000 BTU and heats spaces up to 450 sq. ft. This version is for Massachusetts and Canada.

It connects directly to two 1 lb. propane cylinders. Two swivel regulators let you switch from disposable cylinders to a remote gas supply. That change requires a separate hose and filter.

To light it, push in and rotate the knob. A built-in Piezo sparking mechanism does the rest. An Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and an accidental tip-over safety shut-off are included for outdoor use.

Questions and answers

How much space does the Big Buddy heat?
Mr. Heater rates it for up to 450 sq ft. In practice that means a one- or two-car garage or a large tent; open, windy spaces heat less effectively.
Can I run it from a 20 lb propane tank?
Yes. The two swivel regulators let you connect a remote gas supply with a single hose and filter, which is far cheaper to run than disposable cylinders.
Is it safe to use indoors?
It has an oxygen depletion sensor and a tip-over shut-off, but it is a propane heater that produces exhaust and moisture. Use it only in ventilated spaces, and never in a bedroom or small sealed room.
How is this version different from the standard Big Buddy?
This Massachusetts and Canada version is built to those markets' rules and has a lower maximum heat output than the standard model. Otherwise the controls and safety features are the same.
Does it need electricity?
No. Ignition is a piezo spark and there is no fan, so it runs without power, which is why it is popular for outages and job sites.
What comes in the box?
The heater itself, with the regulators for two 1 lb cylinders. Hoses, filters and tanks for a remote supply are sold separately.
Where is the Big Buddy Portable Heater - Massachusetts and Canada version cheapest?
At MrHeater, for $240.26, as of our latest check.
