Propane options for Mr. Buddy Heater.

[CrappieGuy]

If you use a filter with the 1lb tanks the tank will stick out of the bottom of the heater about 3".   The filter screws directly to the buddy heater right where the 1 lb tank would screw on.  I change my filter every year. here is a picture of it, roughly 3.5" long and the hose I use.

I think the filter is needed because of something in the hose, they have a Plasticizer Free hose that says No Filter needed?

I just got a response back from Mr. Heater and you do NOT need to use a filter if you use the hose that is Plasticizer Free.

Charlie,
 
Correct, no filter needed with the plasticizer free hose.  The
plasticizer free hose is only available in 10' lengths.
 
Thank you,
