can the little buddy heater be attached to a bigger tank other than the little green ones?
I'm in the market for a heater. I've used the Mr. Heater "cooker" with the wire stand and that works excellent for heating the shack (Eskimo Quick Flip 3-it's pretty big) and tote along my 20 lbs. propane tank from my grill. I plan on doing a few overnighters, but mostly just going to be on the water for the day. Sometimes a day for me will be from sun-up from sun-down. Why does everyone seem to be moving towards the Buddy heaters instead of the sunflower Mr. Heaters? Is it due to fuel efficiency? I've had such a good experience using the Mr. Heater that I'm apprehensive to buy another style. Anyone shed some light. I will be buying one this weekend so I gots to make a decision soon.
I used the sunflower type heater last year and while it worked great for heat I now have a burn spot on my $200 coat, 2 jigs at the bottom of a lake, a melted coffee cup and a new zipper on my flip over shanty, all from getting burned/melted from that heater. So I now have the sunflower as a backup and I recently bought a regular Buddy heater for a more safer alternative than the sunflower. The sunflower was just too unprotected to be used in a flipover at least in my case...I tried to be carefull but I think the regular Buddy will be a lot safer and I won't have to always be worried about burning things on it.

get a 5 pound tank. 1 lb green tanks are $3.00 for one. and you don't want to have to carry a 20 lber, it cost $5 to get the 5 lber filled and it will last 2 days of fishing.
