Title: Mr. Heater for my CanvasTent?
Post by: Scioto on October 11, 2008, 10:56:00 AM
I am thinking about getting a Mr. Heater portable Buddy propane heater for my 12x12 canvas pyramid tent.  Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad with this model?  Will it be big enough for my tent, or should I go with the 2 bottle model?  Hoping to get some feedback before I spend the $$.  Thanks!

I was skeptical at first, but they work pretty good.

Might want to get the big bottle adapter, they suck down the fuel.

Should work.  Have used them in a 8x12 wall tent with temps in the 20's & thirty's, and a 6x8 weatherport in the 20's & thirty's also.  Warms things up cery quickly.  We only used them to warm up just before we got up in the morning & a bit before we turned in at night.  Like Barney said, we used them on a larger grill-sized tank.

With your tent I'd go with the bigger model and bulk tank supply. You can always turn it down but the little model only does so much.
