Mr. Heater MH12HB Hunting Buddy Portable Propane Heater - Indoor & Outdoor Use for Patio, Camping, Fishing, Hunting and Tailgating - Camouflage

I purchased the Mr. Heater Hunting Buddy to replace a Portable Buddy version that would no longer light. Yes, it is more powerful, although quite frankly, the form factor of the Portable Buddy is more streamlined.There is a lot of unused space in the Hunting Buddy, including the storage area.All of these are minor issues compared to the major plus of the Hunting version - that would be the electric ignition. That alone makes this heater a winner. No more clunking away and hoping that the piezo switch would start the pilot flame. It's simply faster, easier, and more elegant to start.I highly recommend the Hunting Buddy, if only for this one attribute. It's a game-changer.

I use this regularly and is the perfect size to help heat my house. Keeps me warm when I’m camping and keeps my shop warm when I’m working out there. Very easy to use and the safety shutoff works. Had to clean the pilot light orifice because it was getting too dirty to allow the pilot to stay on but other than that it works great.

Great for hunting but also has been useful on super cold days in the shed working. My boyfriend loved it and was very pleased with the gift.

This is a wonderful piece of tech and functions flawlessly. Pours out a great amount of heat!

Others have made the same comment about the oxygen sensor. I tried to use this heater in my new greenhouse and it utterly failed. The greenhouse isn't very tight yet the heater turns off after 2-4 hrs. It hasn't tipped over and it isn't out of fuel, so it must be the oxygen sensor. This heater should not be used inside, it doesn't work. I also bought a CO detector which hasn't recorded any CO, so it does burn clean. The heater is well made and probably works very well in a limited outdoor environment.

Great Little Heater to knock the chill off.

I got this Hunting Buddy to take the chill off the living room on cold mornings. The house is 3000 sq ft and they really rip me on natural gas use. So with the heater off all night and 30's outside, I see 55F in the living room. I have the Hunting Buddy on a 20 gallon propane tank with 12 foot hose and filter. By the time the coffee is brewed, the thermometer by the couch reads 63 degrees. I can feel the radiant heat from 10 feet away. Its comfortable. The 20 pound propane tank, hose and filter is the way to go. The tank lasts me 3+ weeks the way I use it. Propane is $4.50 a gallon here and $22 to fill the tank beats burning $12 worth of natural gas every day.The battery operated spark pilot ignitor is also a big plus. Just touch it and the pilot is lit.The only downside is that anything propane powered puts off a smell. With the Hunting Buddy, thestink-o wafts upstairs where a cracked window lets it out. It still beats a kerosene heater for smell and is less messy. The wood stove is too slow to operate and I leave the house and don't want it burning.Yes, I'm very happy with the Hunting Buddy and its a step above my 8000 BTU buddy in our camping stuff. It has been 100% reliable.

I purchased this heater as a gift for my wife, as she gets cold very easily (like the slightest cool breeze). We use this heater a lot during the winter, and she loves how much heat it provides. We go camping in the desert and use this heater in our trailer, and find that it puts off very clean heat. It is one of the few heaters of it's type that lists that it can be used indoors, and it has not once set off our CO2 detector...In short...we love this heater and would highly recommend it to any of our family / friends. We also purchased the 10' hose so we could hook it up to our larger propane tank, and it works flawlessly...Great value for the price...super happy with our purchase!
