I got the Buddy Heater just to warm my tent in the morning and perhaps once in the evening, and just "in case" we find ourselves camping and it's really cold., and also for supplemental, emergency heat at home if we have electric power failure and it's winter.
It has a pilot light. Any idea how much fuel that pilot consumes? Should I shut everything down after running it in the evening, for example, and then start it up and light the pilot in the morning? Or is the "savings" so negligible as to be insignificant?
Releasing from any liability (to me), what is the advice re using the large propane tank instead of the 1 pound canister? OK for tent camping? The instructions are very explicit that this must never be done indoors. I presume the manufacturer doesn't want to be sued if I blow up my house and am injured. But if I can have my 23000 BTU Dyanglow kerosene heater in the house, and it has a plenty of kerosene in it, I don't think the large propane tank, properly connected, checked for leaks, etc., is any more hazardous than my gas furnace or water heater.
Any comments or suggestions?
