Is a Buddy enough?
« on: Dec 13, 2007, 09:53 PM »
I have the Shappell DX3000 and last year used my single sunflower for heat.

I also had the pleasure of melting my jacket sleeve... :whistle:

I'm thinking of getting the Buddy Heater. Will this give enough heat for this shack?

The sunflower never ran on anything other than low, and even then, I had to shut it down at times.

Thanks for the opinions...

Glenn

Glenn ,
I believe a big buddy is what you would want ..
if you dont move a whole lot id hook it up to a 5-20 pound
tank if you do that make sure you use a fuel filer too..

I bought a reman. big buddy off ebay for a good price (there are still a few left  ;)). Anyway, I used it for the first time last weekend, and it about ran me out on high. Even on med. and low, it was still to warm. I like knowing that I can keep it to warm, rather than not warm enough. I have used the smaller buddy heater for years now, and just wanted the bigger one. I bought a 20# tank and hose when I bought my first buddy heater. I know a few people that think a 5 -10# tank would be easier to haul around, so that might be something to think about also.

Go to MrHeater.com - they were selling the big buddy's for around 100.00.  You can also get all the accessories you will need.
