Those that have Big Buddy heaters, do you use your fan? The new ones that are on sale in Canada come without a fan now. Thanks.
I use mine regularly and have never had any issues.
I always run the fan. Converted it last year with a $12 amazon stepdown converter that I hardwired into it so I could run on 12v. Also swapped out the rocker switch with a lighted one from princess auto.
Do you use your fan?
JPicks did you follow a guide for that mod or have any additional photos of the connection? looking to do that myself.
i have always wondered if one of those fireplace fans that work on heat would work if you make a little bracket for it to sit on.
The fireplace fan is a great idea. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I bought a rack from Cabela's last year that was made for the Buddy heaters. I can't find them anywhere online right now for a direct link though.
I'm considering buying the bigger buddy heater. What are the pros and cons of using propane heat rather than wood stove. I have a recently built 8 x 14' shack with 1" rigid insulation. Thanks!
they sell a 12v plug in off amazon for like 10 dollars, there is a tiny plug in in the back of the unit, I just store it in the battery compartment, and either run it off my Milwaukee drill battery, or a spare 12v that I carry for lights in the shelter. Fan works awesome to reduce melting of the ice and prevent to much heat out the front of it. I have certainly used it without the fan, but it is a nice feature if you are staying in one place all day and night :-), My 2 cents.
My new fanless big buddy works great. Provides a lot of warmth. I’ll now work on an attachment to the guard to cook up some smokies etc.
