DEWALT PROPANE HEATER

[ice dawg]

I just looked at a DeWalt heater on line. It looks similar to the portable Buddy Heater but can put out 12,000 BTU. It also has a fan and uses a 20v drill battery or a flex battery to power it. Looks like it also has some charge ports. Kind of spendy at $185 though.

Curious myself. I have a trailer full of DeWalt tools so it kind of makes sense. I also have two Buddy's so it kind of doesn't. Buy one and let me know if I want one too.

Sorry, but I have two Buddy heaters too.

My brother Inlaw has one and they are nothing special. He found a sale on them and bought one, he’s a bit of a dewalt fanboy. Haha. They work very well but the fan is very similar to the one on the big buddy.

I have the Buddy Portable that puts out 4K and 9k btu. I rarely need the 9k in my 2/person flip over. Don’t overbuy.

The USB plug-in could come in handy.

I seriously looked at them ...HARD  as I wanted some more BTU ..my Portable Buddy is 20 plus YOA.. Tough Buddy light in the handle and USB ports ..12000 BTU w/fan ...price turned me off though ..then I looked into the Hunting Buddy ..12000 BTU..price again was higher than I wanted to spend ..landed on the Big Buddy w/fan @ Walmart $109 ..very similar footprint as the Dewalt Buddy and the Hunting buddy .

I like the idea of using a drill battery opposed to D cells since I have a DeWalt 20v drill. I didn't appreciate the price and have no need for a new heater since I have five now.

You must have an insulated shack? I found my portable buddy to be enough in my insulated 1 man shack. However when I tried to use in in my older clam voyager which is uninsulated….the portable buddy on high wasn’t enough.

Today I test fired the Dewalt propane heater that I bought for cheap this past summer (best time to buy heating stuff is in the summer.)

1. Pilot light - good
2. Ignition battery - good
3. 1 lb propane connection seals - no leaks
4. Built in fan - good
5. Built in LED light - good
6. Three USB charging ports - good

I’ve been a Dewalt guy since the 80’s so all my tools are Black and Yellow.

Subway4X4 good luck with your purchase ..I would have been all over a Dewalt tough Buddy ..would of checked alot of boxes and fufilled alot of tasks..but the price was the deal breaker . I could still see me shutting down the heater placing it on the ice at the end of the day turning on the light and packing away my gear into my sled .

I ended up with the dewalt last year when our buddy went down. It's a little pricey, but if you already have dewalt batteries I think its worth it. I have a eskimo quickfish 5i and that heater has the tent up to T shirt temperature within 30 minutes even on the negative temp days. I think the fan makes a huge difference with actually pushing heat around.
