Yeah I'm usually good at new products in figuring out how to make it function.Almost broke my knob until I watched this video.Thanks!

[@AD-gl7ck]

Easy to understand and straight to the point! Thanks Kevin!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Your welcome glad to help.

I've refilled my 1pound tanks for years. The last time I calculated the cost to refill one it was 50 cents. You might want to try that.

[@ernestmontenegro2305]

Where do you refill the one pound tanks?

[@ernestmontenegro2305]

Just watched a video - all set. Thanks.

[@contractorgrowthpros]

Can I use it inside? I’m confused the instructions say to make sure area is ventilated??? It’s 20 degrees outside, my power is out. What’s the use of having on if I can’t use inside?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Get a carbon monoxide detector.

[@savannaburnum6897]

I use mine inside with a carbon monoxide detector.

[@aluna3161]

I have the smaller one... I followed as instructed ... no poof, no pilot light ... nothing. What am I doing wrong?

[@gelasiochacon3587]

Do the bottles go down at the same time or one empty out and then the other one starts without the heater turn off could you explain that please thanks

[@Robinson-Homestead]

They will run out at the same time.

[@gelasiochacon3587]

@@Robinson-Homestead ok thanks I just got me one of them

[@markholmes1346]

Great video explaining how to!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the comment my friend.

[@twinfin8571]

I bought a little Buddy for indoor emergency heat. I keep the 1lb tanks in the garage which is unfinished and cold. Can I bring the cold tanks inside and hook them up or should I wait till the tank is warm? Also. Is there any problem putting a half used tank on? The manual says to remove tank when not in use. Does that mean if it’s going to be off for 6 hours and not in use, I should remove tank? Confusing to me. (I just bought a hose for the 20lb and same questions apply to that) thanks.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Cold tank will be fine if the heater is going to be off a day or so take the tank off half tank is fine my 20 lb tank I never take it off I have the 20lb tank outside go through a window with the hose.

[@twinfin8571]

@@Robinson-Homestead . Thanks. It’s simple for people who have used propane….but I’m not one of them. I don’t know a thing about it and I sure don’t want to do anything wrong. I’ve been in a gas explosion which split my house in two. That’s enough for me! Lol

[@princeofthestars5558]

At Walmart cost 2 per less than 10 dollars, those tanks.

[@altonjamison7269]

Super helpful

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I am glad I could help. Thanks for the comment.

[@JeffreyWright-m3o]

What if the pilot light doesn't light. Is there a battery for it?

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

👍 I'm going to have to watch the video with the 20lb propane tank. I remember half of it, forgot the other half. Blame it on age.

[@nanshiverdecker7251]

If the tank isn't empty when taken off for several hours, should the rubber top be replaced?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Put the rubber back on to keep dirt out.

[@Erika-j8y]

Thank you you just saved me

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Glad to help. Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@RyanMcKenna-u1q]

real good video thank you

[@hemansr3893]

Hi Kevin, have you made a grill attachment for cooking on this heater yet?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes I have coming soon thanks for the comment.

[@laurenm6511]

I know this is a stupid question but I don't know the answer so I'm asking. I have one I've never used but potential of a power outage and I have four of those bottles. Is it okay to leave one of them attached as long as the settings are on off?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think it would be fine there is no stupid questions thank you for the comment.

[@laurenm6511]

@@Robinson-Homestead thank you

[@twinfin8571]

@@laurenm6511 . I have the same questions. I’ve never used propane so I’m a bit leery not knowing the safest way to use it. Add to this, in 2006 my house exploded from a gas leak with me in it. I woke up at 7am to the smell of so much gas I think I saw waves. It was 13 degrees outside so the house was closed up. There was a leak at the shut off to the furnace, which was on the main floor cuz the house was built on a crawl space. I was walking to the front door, which my grandson opened just before I got there and the whole house exploded and split in two. I was lifted up and thrown across the living room slamming into the wall. My hair was burned off the back of head, eyebrows etc. we both miraculously survived. But since then, I really want to be sure I never experience anything like that again!

[@nealamesbury7953]

Im familiar with these tanks but, new portable bud. Heater.- in the dark , couldnt get the threads started for the longest time, forget turning it backwards first- brand new heater. Felt like there was no threads- eventually i got it- whats up with that. I have no idea.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It has fine threads so that is probably what happened so just be carefull not to cross thread them , take your time.

[@tuckfilly]

What is the red switch in top for?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

This is an old one it has a fan that is what the switch is.

[@TheBobelly628]

Thank you!!! ❤

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you for the comment and watching.

[@krowbar23]

Awesome show can you use just one bottle at a time with your heater and what side to use. Thanks. 😊

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You can use one but it works best with two.

[@krowbar23]

@Robinson-Homestead ok thanks

[@contractorgrowthpros]

Is pilot flame supposed to stay on? First time using anything propane. ??

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes the pilot light will stay on.

[@kennethalmond8922]

Does one bottle (or 1 connection to a 20lb tank) work both sides of the heater?

[@EnochLight]

Yes - 1 connection (either 1 pound or 20 pound) works both sides of the heater, meaning you can set it to High. A single 20 pound tank will last about 20 hours on High. Be warned: if you use a 20 pound tank with a hose, you must use Mr. Heater's hose accessory as it has a filter built-in. If you use an aftermarket hose, make sure you buy a propane filter or you'll gum up your Buddy Heater.

[@debradenton8750]

Pilot lights but won’t stay on once I release the knob. Tried over and over. Any ideas why?

[@daviddougher8637]

Yep...get a Q tip and clean inside the pilot light..that's why it's not lighting

[@Robinson-Homestead]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWnJqmeEgMmfhLc, i hope this video helps you.

[@TheMoboarder]

Stange, can't get mine lit. No click sound when moving to pilot. Works with a BIC. But no clicking to light. Guess it goes back to the store.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes that sounds like a defect and i would return it.

[@jancooper6592]

@TheMoboarder Mine did same thing try flipping ur ignition battery if it takes one. I had mine in backwards and once i flipped it it started clicking.
