Kodiak Canvas/Buddy Heater

[BLJ]

Have a a couple 10x10’s. I’ve read of people using the Buddy Heaters in them.
Any tips? What size? Moisture issues? Do you use a full size bottle or the smaller green ones? All related to truck camping so weight is not a big issue. Thanks.

If you use a 20lb tank and hose, be sure to use a propane filter. It screws into the Buddy Heater and then the hose screws into that.
Bulk propane from the tanks is really dirty, along with the hose contaminants will cause problems in the Buddy Heater

If its going to be cold and you want a Buddy heater get the Big Buddy. I ran the regular one on a hunt and it takes the edge off but that tent loses heat fast. The next late season hunt I did I got one of the heaters that goes right on the top of the tank and it was much better.

Used one in CO down to -9 with two guys in a 10x10 Kodiak. Could only run it on low or it was too warm. Kept a small crack in the door just to be extra safe. Would run for a an hour or so before bed and cut off when I got up to pee. Cut back on in the morning making coffee and getting ready.
