    If you were to drill a few hole in the “lid” of your guard you might get the fans moving more due to the hot air being able to escape upwards. All the best. Rab

    For years we have wondered what to use to heat the pump house if the power went out. We came up with the oil lamp but doing this would be even better. Thanks for the idea.

    I would simply wrap the wires with foil to give them an added amount of protection from the heat of the Mr. Buddy heater.

    You can always add a aluminum heat shield with some self tapping screws just below the wires.

    It will only melt if you use it on the Big Buddy heater on high because the fan isnt meant to go over a certain temp.

    Nice clip. Have you run the fan on the high setting? The reason is that, I bought another type from Amazon Australia, around $150, but after two days stopped working, I have the same Mr heater but in Australia they sell at one setting which is 9000 BTU, so I think at 450-500 c the temperature I measured, it got burned out. I can't lower the setting of the Mr heater, so do you know if any of these fan can operate at 450-500 c without stopping? I know many of these fan stop working, would appreciate if you can share some other types or more info on what to purchase. Thanks

    Those fans are designed to sit on top of cast iron wood stoves, they had better be able to stand the heat from those stoves, since wood stoves dont come with knobs with which to turn them down, USE YOUR COMMON SENSE PEOPLE

      Easy fix if you are working with a different stove material. There are heat resistant spacer for bottom plate at , welding shop store, or mechanic / auto or buy the fans that strap to a pipe of the stove.

      It’s actually a circuit that is powered by the difference in heat in separate parts. It’s very clever.

    Over 1/3 of the amazon ratings are 39% less than 5 star.
    Buddy heaters are ok if you can get and afford 1,000 gallons of propane a season.
    How does it work on LOW?

    • @DanHiteshew-oneandonly
      @DanHiteshew-oneandonly  Рік тому

      About 5 hours I think. I only use it for short periods to take the chill off. No more than a couple hours at a time, so I'm not 100% sure about the run time.

      @@DanHiteshew-oneandonly If you read the literature on the heater, it tells you how long it lasts per fillup (bottles) on both high and low.
      One can burn through a 20 pound bottle of propane in 3-4 days if used on high.
      20 weeks of cold weather @ 40 pounds a week is about 800 pounds of propane a season (roughly 1,000 gallons).
      It can help in certain cases for temporary heating, especially small spaces.
      But to heat a living room for a family it is quite expensive.
      Always good to have a backup heat source and MANY extra bottles of propane.
      Nearly every house made has 1/10th the insulation needed to make heating and cooling economical.
      A rocket mass heater might be a better option.

    if it's hot enough to burn your hand at the back of the fan where the wires are, that means the fan isn't moving a lot of air as you claimed. Certainly not like a tornado...lol.

    Observation: Stove fans on a Mr.Buddy are wasteful. I use my Craftsman or Makita battery fans. Those are versatile. Use them anywhere. Also for cooling yourself.
    These fan reviews tell me the O.P. isn't a handy man. No tools. Likes potpouri. Falls for Harry's ads and mansquatch soap.
