HOOKING TWO 20lb. PROPANE TANKS UP TO MY BIG BUDDY HEATER!

[@lauraschermeister]

I just used my little buddy heater in my cabin and it burned through the little green propane canister so fast. Thank you for making this video, my problem is solved! Important to note that white thread tape is for plumbing. The yellow thread tape is for gas fittings. Hope you stay warm!

They would have SAILED thru that storm if they just were prepared for it.

I agree get prepped. I have several ways to heat and cool. I’ve been using my Mr Heater Buddy for a few minutes in the mornings in my living room. It’s safe if you know what you’re doing. The 20 pound propane tank is in the same room. I’m using a 10 ft hose so it’s pretty far away from the heat.

I think if you get the 10' hoses by Mr Buddy those are good to use without the filter. I've got mine on 2 years now with no issues. I use the 5' hoses with the filters.

[@wvgrrrrl]

You are correct - Mr. Heater 10' hose Model #F273704 does not require a filter, as it's made from a different material than their other hoses, and does not exude a substance which can clog the burner.

[@laragreene8328]

Big Buddy does make "some hoses" now that need no filter. But it will say on the hose when you buy it. Just make sure you buy the ones that say no filter needed if thats what you want. Those certain hoses are made differently so they require no filter!! The first hoses they made do require a filter. It will say on the package which is which. Thanks for the video!!

[@flyingtigre1239]

No. Not white tape but yellow tape is used for gas. White is for water pipes. I think for safety you’d want one tank turned on at a time, less dangerous. 20lb tanks with 4-1/2 lbs of propane. Depending on settings low lasts for hours I use it in my camper during freezing snow mountains and love this thing.

Enjoy your channels, great stuff!!!

[@lifewiththepettways7281]

Thank you!

[@sixshooter4570]

Nice video, you don't need a filter with the quick disconnect and regulator because it's a low pressure, ½ lb, but the way your doing it you do need a filter unless you're running a OEM hose from Big Buddy as it won't leach oil like other hoses will due to the higher pressure.

[@lifewiththepettways7281]

Thanks

[@ZootyZoFo]

No, the filter is needed when you are using a conversion hose to run the Buddy heater off of a 20 lb propane tank. The problem is with the hose, or rather some of them will bleed oil when under pressure and this oil clogs the heater up which will destroy it. Some of the newer hoses don’t bleed oil when under pressure but I always use a filter when using a conversion hose with my heater, it’s cheap insurance.

[@sixshooter4570]

@@ZootyZoFo I stated as much.

[@ZootyZoFo]

@@sixshooter4570 - Not really, a lot of what you said is just not true. You mentioned disconnecting a hose with a regulator on it when in fact a hose with a regulator won’t even work because the Buddy heaters all have regulators built in. Also it’s not a 1/2 pound bottle, it’s a 1 pound bottle and these disposable bottles are not “low pressure” as you said, they have the exact same pressure as a 20 or 30 pound propane tank has which IS high pressure. You don’t need a filter with many of the new propane conversion hoses as you stated because they don’t leach oil it either as the inner layer of the hose is lined on modern hoses just like the Mr. Heater hoses. Furthermore the 10 Ft Mr. Heater hose didn’t need a filter originally and it was the only hose they made that didn’t need it, all of the shorter hoses did but it depends on when you bought it as the new Mr. Heater hoses are lined as are all quality modern conversion hoses. It’s best to use the $12 filter to be on the safe side but the filter also adds two additional points of failure & propane leakage, all connections should be tested for leaks with soapy water if your tank is going to be close to the ignition source or inside a tent or building which is never should never be if at all possible.

[@sixshooter4570]

@ZootyZoFo Wow, you have a compression problem as your statements about what I wrote is wrong in many instances. Try rereading what I wrote without reading things into them. What I stated is 100% correct. Sorry but I don't have time to teach you how to understand what I had written. But your response to what I wrote says everything about your comprehensive skills and they're not very good.

[@N1ghtF1re]

With the Big Buddy, you can use up to 3 bulk tanks by using the quick connect too. It's always a good idea to use a filter, if for no other reason than dirt getting into the hose. There are only 2 situations where you might not need a filter, one is if you have a hose that doesn't leach under pressure, the other is if you're using a regulator at the bulk tank, since the hose won't be under pressure. If the hose is flexible, it will probably leach under pressure.

[@lorenwright3202]

keeping the tanks indoors is not a problem at all i have a few 100lb tanks indoor the danger is simple and very avoidable first off propane don't just blow up it like any other fuel source has to reach a magic blending number of air to fuel ration 3.8-8.4 i think may not be exact but is defiantly within the range of magic McBroom point being the benefit of storing a tank inside is that it wont freeze and lose performance and stop the process of phase change from liquid to gas is quite cold and if outside in freezing weather where its already cold below freezing is the performance (FLOW) will decrease drastically what the danger is when your smart and get your tanks like shown 20lb cylinders filled they are actually full (20lbs of propane 4.3 gallons I believe ) filling is best to be cold tank old also and then filled to hold the most is that when they warm up to room temp full the over pressure valve will pop and piss out propane wherever they are sitting the very simple way to prevent this is hook it up immediately and use to prevent over pressure from the expansion of propane based on temp not complicated at least I don't think so one but if unaware or wanting to be cautious a swapped 20lb grill style cylinder at the local store is only filled to 75% to leave room for expansion in summer heat and winter temps or up and down filled tanks have little to NO expansion buffer a swapped cylinder more expensive has a 25% buffer its a DOT REG and its not only more expensive you get 15lbs in a 20lb tank so if your not a fucking moron get them filled and immediately start using or store outside but if used immediately there is no problem even when a 100lb tank decided to pop off and vent in my house that's not the real danger its venting that makes the mix (MAGIC RATIO) and as that happens is the most dangerous ask me how I know a foom filled with propane above 8.5% or greater will lead to suffocation at best not from an explosion

How long on high does it last

[@cheapreviews0]

How long does 2 20lb tanks last while the heater is on high?

[@EnochLight]

One 20 pound tank (that is typically 15 pounds of fuel) lasts about 18 hours on HIGH. 2 tanks gets you roughly 36 hours. The math is simple: 1 pound of propane is 21,548 BTUs, so two 20 pound tanks (with 30 pounds of propane) is 646,440 BTU. The Big Buddy burns roughly 18,000 BTU/hour on HIGH, so 646,440 / 18,000 = 35.91 hours, or just shy of 36 hours. Keep in mind that 20 pound tanks that are typically switched out at gas stations and other places may not have 15 pounds of fuel - some have a few pounds less, and some a pound or two more, so these are purely estimates.

[@AJ-sb8qk]

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT VIDEO. NEW SUB I have an really good interesting question. If one tank can burn for 80 hours on low, then 2 tanks should be able to burn for 160 hour BUT if both tanks are burning at the same time and rate of equal portions , then are you actually wasting propane? I'm not sure how this works, but it's nice to know that you could hook both 20 pound lb tanks up at the same time but would it be better to just only run 1 for 80 hours on low until it runs out, which at that point you could turn off the empty tank and then turn on the full tank to get another 80 hours. My only concern would be, running both at the same time and only getting 80 hours. When you're running the too small 1lb tanks, they both burn out at the same time. When you have the hoses connected, they're both the same size and they're both metering the same amount of propane through the regulator. So are you actually getting more propane or wasting propane by running them at the same time?

[@ericpettway72]

Thank you for the sub! I would only just run 1 at a time so that you can get the 160 hours.

They recommend the tanks set outside due to the small possibility a leak somehow occurs

Please don’t put the heater and gas in your hum v.

Why two tanks

[@ericpettway72]

It last way longer with both tanks attached especially in over night hours without having to worry about running out of propane

Lug the 20 lb tank through the woods, while running from a Bigfoot.

Complicated, why not just one 40ib tank?
