Our take on the Mr. Heater F215100 Little Buddy Portable Propane Heater

The Little Buddy is a small radiant propane heater that screws onto a 1 lb camping cylinder and runs at 3,800 BTU, enough to take the chill off about 95 square feet. It is freestanding on an 8-inch round base, weighs under 6 pounds, and has a tip-over shutoff, so it moves easily between tents, blinds, garages and porches. It has no thermostat and only one heat setting, so you control warmth by moving it or turning it off. Compared with bigger Buddy models it trades output and hose compatibility for size and simplicity, and owners treat it as a spot warmer and emergency backup rather than whole-room heat.

Questions and answers

How much space will the Little Buddy heat?
It is rated for about 95 square feet of radiant heat. In practice it warms the people and objects near it rather than a whole room, so it suits tents, blinds and small garages.
What propane does it use?
It runs on standard 1 lb disposable propane cylinders that screw directly into the unit. It does not come set up for a bulk tank hose out of the box.
Can I use it indoors?
It is designed for indoor use such as garages, sheds and trailers, but any propane heater needs ventilation. Do not run it in a sealed, unventilated room or while sleeping.
Does it have a thermostat or low setting?
No. It has a single on setting at 3,800 BTU, so you regulate warmth by moving it farther away or shutting it off.
How is it different from the bigger Buddy heaters?
Larger Buddy models put out more heat and accept hose connections to bulk tanks. The Little Buddy is smaller, lighter and simpler, aimed at spot heating and tight spaces.
What safety features does it have?
It has a tip-over shutoff and an oxygen depletion sensor that cuts the gas if oxygen drops. Both are standard on Mr. Heater portable units.
