    Big Buddy problems

    The oil in the lines is a common problem. I run mine off of #20 bottles and both started acting up . Removed all lines and blew oil out of the steel lines . They run perfectly after doing so. I have acquired quite a few used buddy heaters because people would trash them and blowing oil out...
