[@TTownTCG]

Just bought this exact same heater and it'll heat my WHOLE HOUSE! Completely blew my mind! We absolutely LOVE our heater! Now I'm just using it in my shop but would definitely NOT hesitate to use this in the house if I needed heat! Just an awesome heat source and takes hardly any gas you'll get right at 3 days running it on low.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Yes sir. People thought I was lying when I said it but it will last and keep you warm on a low heat setting for several days. Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@TTownTCG]

@@Mayhemcountryliving Ah you're very welcome mate! This video is one of about 5 I watched to make the decision to purchase the Mr. Heater brand! I appreciate the honesty and humble review! Probably will buy one of these as a gift for the brother-in-law's workshop! He came by an couldn't believe I had adequate heating in the shop 😂. I showed him the heater now I'm hoping he don't go buy one 😆

[@davidparker2173]

Pleasant demeanor, straight forward, everyday people. Trying to figure all this out myself, and the best model for me.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Thank you sir. I have to say I had a couple of problems initially when I used it after the first three or four tanks of propane I called the company they told me what to do and basically they were able to help me fix it over the phone and I have had zero problems with that thing. We’re looking to buy another one but I think they have a different one with actually a cooking eye on top of it. That is actually the next one I will purchase. We live in Alabama and while we do not have horribly cold winters we have cold wet winters interspersed with ice storms where we will lose power for about a week at a time. Two of these and a couple of generators will make the kids and the grandkids very happy

[@bctruck]

It was actually my wife that made me buy my heater. We had a power outage and it was getting cold in the house. I suggested that my wife and I bundle up with her baby sister. I don’t remember much after that but when the ringing in my head stopped, she suggested we buy a secondary source of heat.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

It is a fantastic heater

[@bethhopper5100]

Thank you for making this informative/educative video!!! My boyfriend had one delivered to me this morning, and I’m anxious about starting it up, but this video has helped, greatly!!!

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

We love ours and are using it right now. Thanks for watching!

[@arb5539]

I’m up here in Newfoundland Canada. Just bought one for my shed. The carbon monoxide detector is a great idea.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

It works very well. I think you will be very happy with your choice.

[@Hema1400]

I ordered one of these, along with 2 propane tanks to store with it. I’ll be ordering a thermal powered fan to mount to it as well. I’ll order a second heater if I like it as much as I think I will. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated!

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

good luck you won't regret it!!

[@Hema1400]

@@Mayhemcountryliving have you made any modifications for a shelf? If so could you please share a video?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I never did buts pretty straightforward a piece of thin gauge flatstock Bend one side down about an inch and then fold and use sheet metal screws into hold it snug and your coffee cup will sit on top of it and keep it warm or leave it on there long enough and it will boil the water for your coffee

[@Hema1400]

@@Mayhemcountryliving seems easy enough now that I’ve got it sitting here in front of me. I may just build something that hangs on the grate for my thermal fan. This thing pumps out some serious heat! We were thinking about using this in our 5 meter Mongolian yurt, but we’re probably just going to leave it at the house and use it in the garage and for auxiliary heat needs. It’s exactly what I was wanting.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

@@Hema1400 if you do decide to use it in your yurt let me know how it works out I'm very interested

[@daviddixon5320]

I just bought one and used your video to get my started. Thank you so much for the video🙏🙏

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I’m really glad it helped. I recently had to choose to repair or replace the main valve. Which I think was around $50 plus shipping. I chose to just buy a new one and take all the extra parts off of the old one. We’ve had it for quite a few years now and the part with shipping would’ve been over $60 and you can buy a whole brand new one for round 110. Already replaced the tip over switch so I figured it was just time.

[@Family-Guardian]

I use the mr. Heater big buddy heater as a back up heat source for the outer areas of my house (wood stove as primary backup). And for primary heat in my workshop. These are great. Exactly as described in the video. I also heartily suggest the use of a CO2 detector. Nice eval Mr. Mayhem. Never thought about a pop riveted shelf....great idea! Might need to buy one of these as well....

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

lol yessir its an easy fix for hot water or coffee/tea/ soups/oatmeal

[@mariolopez-ri8wd]

you can make one yourself if you are handy

CO detector. Not CO2 they are two different gasses

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Yep my bad

[@drkknghtway]

5 years later I stumble across your video exploring options for heating our sun room during Midwest winters. Hopefully if you see this comment thanks for making and uploading this. Are you still happy with this heater and did you have any issues if you used this indoors?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I used it up until this past year and it had been fantastic. There was a problem with an orifice tube I believe or part of the valve assembly and the parts to replace it were about $60 plus shipping so I just ended up breaking down and buying a whole new one and saved a few pieces and parts on it. It has been one of the better purchases I have ever made lol

[@drkknghtway]

@@Mayhemcountryliving Good to hear that it'll last a while. Did you use a Mr. Heater fuel filter for the contaminants in propane and hoses? That's direct from the product description page so not sure if it's necessary or just marketing.

[@peanutsmith1462]

I live in south east Alabama we have two of these little heaters I love them paid $120 at Lowe’s a few years ago I won’t to figure out how to put a 100 lb tank on it and make it a permanent heater

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

You can run a line from your tank and then use flexible hose or you could have it soldered and fitted in a location that you would like. You might have to check with a gasfitter as to what you need to do. You might also want to check the quality of your regulator

[@alpha-male1959]

I strap a small wood stove fan to the front of mine and it gently blows the heat all without electricity They are amazing heaters for the money I used mine for years and no problems

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

That’s a really good idea

[@peanutsmith1462]

We live in south east Alabama this is our mane source of heat it works good on low we can run about 6 days non stop day and night we bought our at Lowe’s home improvement

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Absolutely we live between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa and I have to say that has been one of the best investments we have used to heat our house with. We use it now it’s supplemental heat but when I’m working downstairs on my hydroponics are doing a project I’ll cut it on and it really helps to warm up the basement. We have used it many times when the power goes out and if you keep 4 tanks it’s an easy swap

[@frankposterello1628]

Do you know the clearances required? Can you put it in a cabinet like you would a mini fridge? Can you wire it to your thermostat like a furnace?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I’m not sure about the clearances before placing in a cabinet you might check on their website. I do not think you can wire it to a thermostat because the temperature control is a manual valve on the top again I would look at the website they may have a frequently asked question section.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Can’t beat it, keep doing the good stuff.

[@randallwatts9840]

I have a screened in porch that I’d like to use this heater. I have a propane gas line coming out of wall to porch. Could I connect to this line instead of tanks?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I think so. Make sure that the portable propane heater has the appropriate orifice, if it is natural gas or propane.

[@mistybarker313]

We live in a 14x70 all electric mobile home & are looking for a heating source to keep our electric furnace from constantly running. Propane tank refill in our area is $14, needing to know how long a tank will last & if this will help cut down the electric bill by using this to heat our home, would you recommend this for that purpose & trust it to burn low when not @ home

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

This would be one I would consider. It has the low O2 shut off, as well as the tip over shut off on low settings with a full 20 pound tank would probably run for a day or two.

[@mistybarker313]

I’ve saw a review about this that said it makes the floor hot & could possibly burn carpet. Have you experienced that & thank you for yr reply

[@JustPlainCommonSense]

Now that is winter prepping!

[@TheDchall1972]

Did you say run 3 days on a tank on low

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Yes on a full 20 lb tank not the ones that are partial fills from gas stations. Have had it for nearly 5 years now

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

I have a Big Buddy and love it, use it to heat my small wood shop. This is cheaper and more convenient than that. Nice unit! The advantage to Big Buddy over this is portability, use of the 1-lb canisters, and I'm uncomfortable having the 20-lb tank right there next to a source of ignition inside your heated space. Can you use a hose and have the tank outdoors? That's what I do with the big buddy. Anyway, cheers to you sir.

What size tank? I’m assuming you’re running it on low.

[@tranerekt1731]

@@alcopower5710 low is as high as I can keep it, and even then I need to turn it off after a while. I only use medium or high if I've been away and it's really cold inside, just to heat it up quick. I'm in a 21 foot trailer.

So this would b safe to run indoors even though it says outdoor use on the box?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

We have used it for years. I would always say be careful make sure you have a window cracked make sure you have a carbon monoxide tester that is working. In an emergency though you do what you have to do.

[@edsonarellano3095]

Can I use this in my mobile home some ventilation use ??

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

You should be able to, especially since you said you had some ventilation. You could go to their website and check and make sure that it’s exactly what you’re looking for.

[@breslaj4]

How is this still running? Could you use it in a garage with the doors closed? What about carbon monoxide?

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Works great 3 years now! It’s a zero vent but we still crack a window and make sure we have a CO2 sensor in the room. This has a low O2 shut down sensor

My dad gave me a used one it shuts off. It worked for 30 minutes i tried again it went off in 15 seconds. It has a full tank

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

They should have a help number sticker on the side of them call that number it could be that you’re tip over switch is bad and they can walk you through the process of how to test it

[@MichellesMakeupHeavenOribe]

Is this for all their heaters? I bought the twin top for my greenhouse and I am worried about carbon monoxide poisoning. The greenhouse is not 100% sealed.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I don’t know if it is for all of them did you by Mr. heater or a Mr. buddy?. This one has an automatic tip over turn off as well as the oxygen sensor. We are actually about to buy a second one of these as a back up heat source

[@CanadianDreamer]

I just got one for my cabin in Alberta.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

They are really handy if you put a small metal shelf attached to the front you can even heat up food and water on it

[@CanadianDreamer]

@Mayhemcountryliving The shelf idea is a good one. I will try it!

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

I got the idea from BC Blades. He’s the one who actually turned me on to the Mr. heater years ago. He took a piece of scrap sheet metal and bent it in a vice and then put some screws through the top of it to where it was big enough to hold, small pot, or coffee pot

[@immrnoidall]

I got one too. the controls a bit different but still 100 bucks. and they pump out some nice heat. Did yours come with the wrong regulator that can not vent "down" because it has a 90 degree to the tank, with a "DO NOT REMOVE" warning tag on the wrong regulator stating, "Caution; vent of regulator MUST be pointing down. This kind of thing is a "legal out", if you use it as shipped and any thing bad happens, you can't sue. like the selling point of "indoor use" . When actually that means there must be at least a 1.5 sq.ft. hole to the outside, NOT AN OCCUPIED AREA, NOT A LIVING AREA, AND NOT A SLEEPING AREA. In other words you can put it indoors but not be in there "living" at the same time. pretty crazy sounding but that is the world today.

[@Mayhemcountryliving]

Yes mine did come with that same warning and after about a week it quit working as it was under warranty I called the manufacture and they said the anti-tip disconnect was faulty and they said bypass it and I said holy cow thank you. So now mine works regardless of whether you tip it over or not and it works very very well I have had it for five years. I think,. And we use it regularly every year in our downstairs living room. I am actually going to buy a second one. Just in case we need it.
