Flame King has Mr buddy beat. It puts out more heat and has a built in theromostat that regulates the temperature. Turns on and off automatically to adjust the temperature.
@Seeing Through ..thanks for input! i think i'll get a REALLY INSULATED Sleeping BAG..& a HOT WATER BOTTLE( put in sleeping bag ) !! ....turn on Heater to WARM UP Cab...Turn off when it's REALLY 'TOASTY'... b4 'falling Asleep!!...Cheers from Canada...
Thanks for the review. Very "Spot On". I also find the heater puts out a bit too much heat in a camper shell or my 6 man winterized dome tent and needs ventilation and a fan to get the heat down to where you are sleeping on the floor. I use it a lot for a garage heater with a large tank and it does pretty well. I saw the piece of wood you use under the heater. I presume it is to protect the carpet? I use a High Temp Felt Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket under the heater to protect the floor of a tent. Wouldn't do any harm in the truck or anywhere there is flammable carpet either. Cost is about $15.00. I went with the 18"x 24" felt pad/blanket. I also run a Co2 detector with memory and haven't ever seen it pick up anything above 36 from this heater. So it is definitely safe indoors but I'm gonna keep running the detector anyways.
I have started using a carbon monoxide detector and it has red as high as 30 when I've been running the heater. That is not at the alarm level. But I would suggest having a detector when you use the heater.
really? sounds like maybe your tank was leaking or something. there's another vid where a guy runs his buddy heater in his tent for 12-16 hours and the carbon monoxide detector never even budged. I use my buddy heater in my jeep all the time through hunting season, with no windows open, and have never had an issue. been doing it for years. both my buddy heater and my coleman procat.
They definitely do produce Co, even just burning candles produces Co. Perhaps their was a draft in the tent when they were testing it. In an enclosed pod like a camper or boat then it can produce lethal levels. We had a young family, man, woman & 2 children pulled out of a boat here in the UK dead a last year on an inland river. It was investigated and the cause put down to Co from a portable gas heater. The river authority has now banned their use.

If you run it more then one hour in a camper air space, you may fall eternally a sleep. Rooms of 8 feet square are at the same risk. There needs to be an opening nearest the face 24/7. Think blankets are safer.
@@_DB.COOPER Hi, ry to have a vent near your head area. Even another vent near the heater itself. The heater consumes oxygen aggressively. And some dizziness or near fainting events begin to occur-- this will be all the warning you will get. Be careful. Campers really have little choices.
@@freecarVideo4u I’ve been running heaters in tents and campers for 50 years now. We used to use the Coleman heater that you filled with Coleman fluid, then turned upside down until the top got soaked with the fluid, then we would light it and wait for the flame to go out and set it inside the tent for warmth all night. I’ve used kerosene heaters that will run you out of a tent because they get so hot. Now I use these Mr. Buddy heaters. We are proof they work as we are still alive. We know about the proper ventilation methods. You have to use caution in everything you do if you want to live to old age.
@@_DB.COOPER Yes, of course i agree. I had played around with an alcohol burner -- almost burn down my house. Ok, please alert your viewers of internal ventilation practices; especially the one pointed towards the heads of sleepers. Never run the heater when fully asleep is still a concern.
@@freecarVideo4u sir I have no viewers. I’m just a commenter like you I reckon. I have a buddy who sets up a huge outfitters tent and they use a wood burning stove to heat it. The wood has to be regulated and they designate one person who knows what he’s doing to add wood to the stove when needed. They had an invitee one year get cold, get up and fill the stove with wood, that smoke ran everybody out of that tent and about killed them. I mostly hunt in a 1984, 19 foot Fleetwood prowler RV and we generally sleep 4 in it. We crack the windows in the front and back and the heater sits on boards across the sink with a hose ran through the cracked open window and screen down to a propane bottle outside sitting on the ground. We’ve never slept warmer or better before this heater was invented.
It does produce carbon monoxide, it says in the instructions that it may give off excessive carbon monoxide if used without adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Perfect! Coincidentally I have the same setup with the softtopper and bedrug. Thanks for sharing!
A camping system I plan on employing myself. Simple.. no need for an instagram build out. Well done.

i'd still be 'Nervous'...about Falling Asleep!!...rather just have a Super INSULATED Sleeping Bag!!!...
Maybe turn it off, before going to bed. Then back on when you wake up.
(That's what I've been thinking.)

@Seeing Through same here. I use it inside a RV and I have 2 carbon monoxide detectors and a smoke alarm. I sleep with the heater on.
those things produce so much water it is literally raining on you by morning!

You ment a CO (carbon monoxide) not CO2 (carbon dioxide) dector correct? CO is what can kill you.
Good review!
Cool man
Nice 👍
That’s the complaint I hear mostly is the lowest setting is too hot and the model under this one will not support a remote tank and hose.
Get a TEG fan and put on top Will pump free heat all over while its on abt $40 amazon
Hey I'm staying in van living in my van does anyone know how to build stuff inside
is it on low or high?
Low
@@keithert I was using in 7 degree F the other day on high and it still keeps it warm enough. Not perfect
I have a soft top as well. Mines made by Bestop though. I’m curious if you’ve had any issues with condensation running the heater in the soft top?
I've only used it for an hour at a time, but no condensation issues. Mine is a softopper.
Think I will buy one.thanks

breathe and squeeze In my truck it regularly gets up to 30. In my camper doesn't read at all. The truck bed is pretty small.
One thing is for sure, you will never know when your wrong!!

What type of camper shell is that?
soft top camper shell
How much u paid for that soft shell
@@vaqueroyoyo1 $400 used.
Softtopper is the brand. I got mine used as well. I love it.

DO NOT BUY FROM MR HEATER. Local retailers will charge half as much. Mr Heater has a very difficult return policy also
I bought mine from a Farm and Fleet store. Lately I see Costco having good deals on them.
Mr buddy needs a heat exchanger and exhaust pipe
Is that a CANVAS TOPPER ?
Yes it is made by softopper.

Ran it all night many times in a small tent on elk hunts. Still here writing about it.

Yes. Uses the 1 lb green bottles.

Don’t kill yourselves using a propane heater crack a window
It doesn't emit carbon monoxide. It is a ceramic heater. Many have run tests on them eighth a co monitor
@@phantomcreamer It's a propane heater. You need some ventilation
phantomcreamer if it combusts (it combusts) it produces carbon monoxide
It does produce carbon monoxide, it says in the instructions that it may give off excessive carbon monoxide if used without adequate combustion and ventilation air.
@@J33-v5j it produces very little CO, the main danger is its consumption of oxygen, suffocating you.
