yes I roasted in the house so I am looking to get a much smaller heater as I have the big buddy and heater/cooker. This what I am thinking. What do you all think?

 

I have a Big Buddy I use in my Clam Voyager thermo top, and a Buddy I use in my thermo Eskimo wide 1.  Normally I only have the buddy set to low in the Eskimo.  Both setups seem to work pretty well.  I haven't used my Sun heaters in years and I haven't melted or burned holes in anything in years either!

I have one of these and it works well.  Easier to light than anything else I’ve used.  Compact when broken down too..  I pack that one when I’m not sure if I’ll need heat or not.

 

Downside is it’s either on or off, no adjustment, and I’m always worried about tipping it over eleven though it rarely happens.

 

I wind up using the regular size Buddy the most when I know I want heat.  I use the Big Buddy when I can bring a 20lb tank and hose and it’s COLD.  

 

I always got headaches after a day of fishing with the heater/cookers.

Walmart had these on clearance for $32 back in September and I couldn't pass it up despite having several other heaters already. I have actually been really impressed  with it. It gives off just the right amount of heat without turning a portable into a sauna. It does light very easy I have been very happy with it.

Well the Little Buddy heater is 3,800 BTU and the Buddy is 4,000-9,000 BTU. I figured if the Buddy is too warm at 4k, I'd crack the zipper some.
