Tools and Hardware Reviews of Mr Heater MH18B Portable "Big Buddy" Heater
Customer Review: Big Buddy Heater
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice little heater. Use to heat the garage with a kerosene heater but that was messy and smelled when you first started it and shut it down. K-1 fuel is very expensive. Don't expect the Buddy Heater to heat a large area, it's only 18,000 BTU on high... It does however burn clean with no odor. Pretty good buy if you don't have a large area. I would recommend this heater.Customer Review: Big Buddy Heater

My biggest problem with this Heater, is that given its voracious appetite for fuel, is that it does not come with an Adapter to connect it to something larger than a Propane Torch Tank. The Adapter Hose is a $43.00 additional cost item.Customer Review: Big Buddy disappointment.

After having bought and used the Little Buddy heater, I purchased the Big Buddy to get the higher heat output for my shed and back porch. The unit is well made and very sound. There are two major problems that I have found: 1)when the heater is on the highest setting, the propane cylinders get so cold from the high flow of gas that the heater shuts down. This is only a problem if the temperature that you are using it in is below 40 degrees F. If you are using it as an auxillary heater in the house, it does not frost up. 2) hooking the heater to a larger tank is not even discussed in the instruction manual, other than stating that an inline fuel filter should be used. It doesn't state if the line should be hooked to one side of the heater or the other, or if you need 2 hoses.
The frosting up issue is the biggest disappointment for me. I can't use it in my shed in the winter because of this. Make sure you know how you are going to use this unit before you purchase it.

I just purchased my second Big Buddy for my Brother and he is overjoyed with it's operation and portablity. He uses it in the garage for projects because he doesn't have a basement. It also gets used in the three seasons room and makes the temperature very comfortable, in fact it would be nice if the heater had a thermostat to turn it on and off because it makes the room too warm even at it's lowest setting.Customer Review: Big Buddy is great!
