Alex, really enjoyed your thorough coverage and explanation in your video which was very well done. I just placed an order with Amazon for the 9K btu heater to use in my golf cart, so I will bypass the tilt mechanism when it arrives. Thanks for helping me make up my mind.
I like the concept, I’ve heard of some people having issues with the products and then having more issues with customer service. Good to see you haven’t had any bad luck!
I have seen one guy on Facebook saying something about a defective unit, but haven't seen much else in terms of negative on these. Hopefully just an anomaly and the majority are quality without issues. 👍
Great video. Thanks for the input😊
You will love this......I still run 2 Coleman force 5. I have lost count of how many decades they have been working.
AWESOME!! Love when you find things that just work!
I live in a state people are claiming is home base like there labeling it some kind of base or something . For some wild idea trial thing people haven't been able to get heat or electric for the whole entire winter time and it has dropped to -15 degree range few times so always good to check out these great ideas for alternative heating since some people have been unable to get heat or electric.
Mr heater big buddy (18,000 BTU) show better numbers on paper, I own one and never had a problem with it, the double tank capacity is a wonderful feature, I must say ,some of the features on the heat hog 18,000 are great and I wish mr heater had them but I rather have double the running time than electric ignition.
I appreciate your comparo's of these portable heaters. Can you compare these next to the mr. Heaters? I got the portable buddy and am on the fence about that 9k heat hog. I just need to be as most compacts as possible. Thnx.
I really like the 18k! The tilt is a great addition.
It really is! Nice not to have the ice melting right in front of the heater!
That’s why I’m listening.
Just got 9,000
Very nice heater
About damn time buddy heater got better competition, I have bad luck with the buddy heaters
These heaters are nice, I'm a fan!
I just bought the big unit as emergency heat for the bedroom/bathroom. However, now I want to go ice fishing with a Youper while drinking Labatt’s. Or, I’ll just watch ice fishing videos, ya, doncha know.
🤣
Most other heaters say to use a filter(keep out oils from propane 1 lb. cyl/hose breakdown) or regulated hose from a larger tank. I am wondering if these heat hogs need a filter or are they regulated at the unit?
Is there enough clearance underneath the back panel for a hose connection to pass through or do you have to keep the back panel off the entire time to properly use a hose connection?
Wish they would build a fan into the unit that would be prolly the best portable heater on the market if they added a rechargeable battery pack and fan just saying
Big buddy has 2 one pound bottles; one on each side. On medium is the 2.25 hours per bottle or 2.25 hours for 2 bottles???
Do they offer a carry case for the 9 or 18btu units?
I'm thinking of replacing my Mr Buddy heater that I primarily use in my shop. Lately the Pieozoelectric starter has been giving me fits, not igniting the pilot. Checked all the lines with a full 20 lb tank still no go. So I'm thinking of upgrading and the Heat Hog 18K looks like a good choice/heater.
Thank you for this review...
Peter
just get one of those long neck lighters to light the pilot
Great idea, never thought of that, thanks....
The heat hog has WAY better reviews on Amazon than the Mr Heater. I’ve had nothing but problems with the Mr Heater Little Buddy, and I used the recommended Mr Heater with a 20 lb tank. I don’t understand how my propane water heater and my propane barbecue..what’s with they can’t make a dependable space heater. There are SO many Utube videos about people having problems with Mr Heater units. So Amazon reviews and Utube indicate the Heat Hog is better. My Mr Heater plugged up or something last night and after big popping sound, it caught on fire out the grill and out of the area above the the non removable inlet filter or regulator, whatever that bulb thing is where you connect the propane.
don't know, but it sounds like your buddy heater have a problem with the anti-tilt switch. it seems to be common with the buddy heaters.
I have mine connected to a 20lbs tank and it wont light.. the pilot comes on but the burners don't. I found it was the MR.HEATER hose. it won't work. I tried a different brand hose and it works fine.
Does the 18k have a built in fan?
My big buddy will run approximately 4.5 hrs on medium on 1 pound propane
Propane has a fixed energy density. No matter which propane heater, they will use a certain amount of propane for a given BTU output.
Will you be doing run time and heat output comparison videos vs buddy heaters?
I've got it on the list to do, haven't locked in dates yet though 👍👍
At tractor supply you can get the exact same 18k but heater except it's yellow,says master and is cheaper
But does it have a motor?
the 18k holding a 2nd tank isn't a bonus.
first tank will always start cold anyway and spare tanks will heat up with ambient tent temperature before the first tanks empty. If anything it could be riskier if anything went wrong.
it would've been better if they both just socketed in
Do you know if the 18k unit will fit in a milk crate?
I noticed the tops of the grates have the curved pieces. Possibly to discourage using it to heat things up? Would be convenient to have a flat top to the grate to set a kettle or something
My thought as well! I'm sure someone will come up with a modification for it 👍
Plus no fan if it has electric igniter it should have a fan like my big buddy I wouldn't buy it because of that. And can't cook on it.
Absolutely! The cooking aspect is a necessary issue. Flat please!
How many lbs/hr is the mr big buddy???
may you know if there are devices coming to the eu
Nice review! Thanks! As a long-time PA announcer, I would recommend not using "you have" or "you got" so much.
Appreciate it
Didn’t explain why I should by one of these units vs the competition. What makes them a better value?
I might do a comparison video in the future to other competition, but this was focused on showcasing the 3 new heaters Heat Hog came out with and the unique features they have on them. Up to you if you think they are worth it or not. Lots of good stuff out there. These 3 I have used and recommend in different scenarios based off what you are trying to do. I primarily use these heaters when out ice fishing so a couple things that have me wanting to use these over any other heaters out there is the tilting design: a lot less heat hitting the ice causing a pool of water, the fold down handle: get it out of the way of the heat so it doesn't melt - my other heaters have had this issue, wide open back: easy to clean & maintain rather than needing to unscrew a million plastic pieces to get to stuff, Heavy duty grills: they are built strong and can take a bit of roughness without snapping into pieces (like some other brands I have used). Let me know if you have a specific question or specific brands you are hoping to have them compared to and I can look into it!
@@AlexTimm So the Mr Buddy version of this size uses 2 cylinders and this one only one?
Just bought the big one and all I can say is, Goodbye Mr. Heater!
Awesome!
You have done reviews on both the buddy heaters and the Heat Hogs now. now that this review is a couple years old and you have used both products if you had to choose between the big buddy and the Heat hog which heater would you choose? have you had any issues with your heat hogs since this review?
I will be putting out a comparison video with now using both plus the Flame King brand for a few years. If I could only have one, I would go with the big buddy heater bang for the buck, but the Heat Hog is a close second. Each has pros and cons
I just grabbed the 9000 as I’ve been eyeing these the last few years. Good bye Mr buddy heater😊
That's awesome! The 9000 is definitely a great choice. Enjoy your new heater!
Isn't there anyway to use a 20 pound tank on the big units. I know Mr Heater's Big Buddy heaters and even the Lil' Buddy can be hooked to a big tank with a hose and filter.
Yes, all of them can be hooked to a 20lb tank
Is there an opening to run the hose through the back?
Yes, the gap at the bottom below the removable panel
@@AlexTimm It will be a big failure to remove panel in order to run the hose.
What are the altitude ratings on these??
Heat Hog only specifies that the heaters should work with no issue to 2,000 FT, above which you may run into the heater not burning as bright or sporadically shut off due to the lower levels of oxygen. I would say your somewhat reliable zone is probably the same as other heaters with similar components and reliance on oxygen which is up to roughly 7,000 FT.
On the 9,000 unit you say it has a tank heating dock. Where exactly is it? It only fits one tank inside
That entire back area is the tank heating dock, so helps keep the tank that is in use 👍
Pricey for the big one at $313.00 CAN at Amazon. Ouch!😮
Just reminds me of a knock-off buddy heater
Once you dig a bit deeper into how they are built and the features I have found they didn't just copy another brand, but added some useful features to the established functionality of the portable propane heater. Buddy Heaters are great and I use them, but there are differences for sure
@@AlexTimm Since you have used Buddy Heater before, why can you show the advantage of this one over Buddy Heater in the first place? And the the prices of this new units are way over priced than Buddy Heaters. What a waste ~~
Can the piglet be used to heat a garage?
@wholesome == 猴神 Buddy heaters are garbage and tons of them explode every year. So for an extra $20 if I don't have to quit ice fishing because the heater has quit working and my hands are freezing or my ice hub is up in flames I think its worth it.
12:47 I was all over getting the piglet till I saw the price.
Keep an eye out for sales!
Very informative. Gonna have to check them out. I really like the built storage for an extra tank on the big heater
It's a $10 difference... are you really that concerned about $10?
The Buddy heater has 4000 BTU and 9000 BTU on one unit mmmmmmmmm😮😮 now😂
how u like them so far?
Really liking them!
Heat floats up so your toe theory is compromised it's better to warm your toes if the Heat's going to go up anyway the heat don't stay down at the bottom with a heater buddy but I'm sure that tilt would come in handy for other things like structures being in the way and needing to angle it
Can you buy these in Canada?
Yes! amzn.to/3BkWSaC
CT has them
@@mrseahunter1 ok awesome. Thanks
@@AlexTimm thanks
@@BeeRockk4 i seen the 9000 btu one on sale 2 flyers ago for i think 139 so hang tight likely go back on sale soon
I'll stick with my big buddy heater.
They all need to have a thermostat control
It would be a nice optional feature that you could turn on or off in my opinion
That seems like a great feature but I do wonder how long the gas valve would last being opened and closed repeatedly and if there are any safety implications.
I need a thermostat.
Mini soooooooota
Heck yeah!! 😀
I will never understand why all these portable heaters, all different brands and styles, Don't come with carry bags. Or even really have them available. Especially for the ice fishing crowd. They get covered in snow, ice, mud in sleds and truck beds. Lots of little things that could be kept together in a case (hoses, cooking grates, spare propane tanks, small assortment of tools if it breaks, lighters, a small fan, ect) lots of stuff comes with a carry bag that just gets tossed. These seem like they should and it would actually be useful.
I have a carry bag for my mr heater portable buddy 9k heater.
I got a bag for my mr heater flex and cooker
Price not competitive with Mr. Heater sale prices.
Putting the propane tank inside the unit right behind the heat plate.......what could possibly go wrong.....? Yikes.
It doesn't get hot at all, just out of the elements and ambient room temp
Completely agree
All these heaters are too hot I stay in the Chevy van I have to get up every couple of hours and turn it off then an hour later turn it back on I can never get any sleep they're all too hot don't they make a little one it'll also use a lot less propane I'm going through four bottles a night might be cheaper to stay in a hotel
Have you tried the middle one and just leaving the pilot light on?
They need to have thermostats.
Why in the world don't they have heat ignited fans---And when will any of them ever figure out a remote control---Who wants to get up to shut it off.
Wind blows the pilot light out easily ,
Junk
So on the big one you can still only use one little bottle at a time. "Junk" I'll stick to the tried and true big buddy.
Yes, 2 fit in the back but only 1 can screw in at a time. Hoping they come out with an updated version in future years that you can screw both in
Honestly, if I'm bringing a heater of this size out, I'm going to be running it off of a 5, 10, or 20 lb. tank. I dislike running any of these bigger heaters off of 1lb. cylinders. You spend too much time changing cylinders for my liking, and they aren't all that cheap anymore.
That's why I returned mine. I have the big buddy and nothing compares to it.
The little one is perfect for tent camping. I need one.
@@mushroomcapd11975 I'm not saying the big tank isn't convenient but the big buddy holds 2 one pound bottles and one you're running and gunning and moving your shack every 10 min or so the hose and bigger tank is heavy and bulk 2 one pound bottles last all day if you're not running it on high and I refill the little ons for cheap off a big 20lb tank
Where is the Heat Hog run time video comparison? You can't suck us in with the great comparison videos and not do one for this heater... 😡🤬❤🔥
Ha, yeah I haven't done one yet, in fact not many people have asked for it!
NO FAN.
Correct
Is this a paid review?
Where is the fan ???? Buy a mister buddy heater Much better
These ones don't have a fan, I have some of the Buddy Heaters, they are nice as well!
Buddy heaters don’t have built in fans anymore!
@@SL-fu7sh they do now I just bought one at tractor supply 2 weeks ago
@Rick River - can you kindly provide the model#. I’ve been looking for one with a motor. I have 2 without and I’m not paying to buy a new back with a motor.
@@SL-fu7sh MH18B
MR. Heater is still CHEAPER.
Yes, I agree most of the time Mr heater is cheaper, but there are differences and now there is choice between them and some good competition 👍
@@AlexTimm that's a good thing,,,, we need more choices. we also need AFFORDABLE choices. $80 for the piglet is way too high. that should be $40 tops,,, but the same size Mr.Heater cost about the same.(ALSO way too high)
Cheaper for a reason, they’re junk. Nothing but failures from mine
@@benfisher8863 operator error? I had a lot of trouble with my BIG BUDDY heater when i hooked it up to a 20lbs tank using the Mr.Heater hose. turns out the hose has a safety valve in it, when you turn the gas on too fast the valve stops the flow of propane and the heater would not work. I bought a new hose... works great now.
Much rather have a double tank like on big buddy.
