This Thermoelectric generator (TEG) operated fan is the perfect accessory for your Buddy heater by Mr. Heater. It moves a lot of warm air around and makes the Buddy Heater much more efficient.

I know the model in the video is no longer available. Here's link to another model, but I don't have any personal experience with it, so I can't say how well it works. There are plenty of other models to choose from on amazon.

8-Blade Dual Head Heat Powered Wood Stove Fan amzn.to/3bW89At
The alt one only has one thermal metal blade though. Mounting it will require additional modification.
Will this fan work on the electric Buddy heater??
@@sharonmetzner1798 I would imagine it would. I use one over an oil lamp and that gets hot enough, so I think an electric heater would get hot enough too.
I found the same fan on ebay. Had to wait 3 weeks to get it from China though. I have been using it on my round kerosene heater. Makes a huge difference in how fast my garage heaters up. I have to make sure it is pulling in cool air and blowing it over top of heater. Otherwise it will overheat. Good idea for using it on the buddy heater.
How long does mini propane last? Hours please
Easy to use right out the box th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAvrAfikbUEMthp3AZ6iX5FKdiHfzy_RP . Next step is to get a heat activated fan to move the heat. I'm impressed by how long it can go on 1 lbs of propane at the low setting which lasted more than 6hrs. You'll have to adjust it lower than the low setting. Used for personal heating at 30° to 50° at low setting in an open garage, it's quite comfortable. It would warm up a good size single car garage if its closed off.
I should get one to stick to my back when I work out!
Joking, I never work out 😂
bungee cords would work good for that
Love the Griswold plug setup
They truly are in door safe. I watched a guy do a test in his enclosed RV with CO meter/detector. After multiple LP cans with his buddy heater on high there was zero indications of any CO.
Using a big buddy in my fifth wheel this winter!
They also have low oxygen shut offs, buddy is a great product
Used a Mr Buddy for years. Just switched from tent camping to a pop up. Used a Big Buddy in our camper in Oct and it did the trick.
Really a good idea to have a window cracked a little bit
Don't kid yourself. ANY indoor fire is going to consume oxygen and create carbon dioxide.
Man this would be great to add to my heater in my box blind to help keep my kids warmer. Thanks for the idea I realize I’m kinda late I just stumbled across this video
Thanks for sharing. I can already tell this is going to make a huge difference
I did get one of these. Love it. Works as described. Thanks for the tip.
AWESOME accessory. Thanks for the tip/product suggestion.
I've got to tell you...This is one of the best enhancement videos I've ever seen. I have the same Buddy Heater and just got the Big Buddy to use at my car wash. I'm getting two of these because of you. I will use your link. They are a little pricey, but over time they will pay for themselves in less propane usage for the same heating efficiency. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I just bought one after watching this, as I'm Canadian and I do a lot of my work in the garage. This will most likely cut my propane refilling in half! Just started using it today. I love it. Thanks again.
Sold my Buddy heater. It went thru those green propane bottles very quick. Nuff of that nonsense for.
You know- there is an adapter where you can refill those green tanks off of a 20lb tank..
This is fantastic! Thanks a bunch. Ordering right now.
Genius! Brilliant! Love it! These little fans are one of the greatest discoveries mankind has come with since fire :D
Freaking awesome I thought the ones that were on the stoves were heavy I've never held one never seen one up close in personal. I use mine in my toy hauler because I don't have a heater in this one and it works great but this would make it work perfectly. Thanks for sharing this a cheap and easy fix
Thank you for sharing. Just ordered one
Thank you for sharing this with me!
Awesome idea. I had forgotten about these fans.
I have a Mr. Buddy Flex. I used a 1/2 inch aluminum angle on each side of the fan and have a great permanent mount for the Mr. Buddy.,
Thanks for the post.
If you get a connecter hose and run directly off the 20 lb. tank, you don't wake up cold in the middle of the night and have to replace the small (expensive) canisters.
I run mine with a filter and a 20 lb tank or 30 lb
Thank you for your generosity of experience
I just ordered my dual fan! Great video.
Thank You, never knew these existed
Got that exact buddy heater and was researching those fans this morning, way to go!!
Awesome video!
Thanks for Sharing!
Perfect solution for my Buddy, thanks!
I had the same question and even plugged in an electric fan behind my heater. Thanks!
I use one of those in RTT annex. It’s absolutely fantastic. So glad I got the small double fan.
Perfect my fan just came in. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting. Great information!!
Awesome. Thanks for posting this!
I have a fan like that in our wood stove. It's a game changer.
This is some great information, thank you for posting this.
OMG - this is awesome. I'm stunned at how well it works. Best $80 I've ever spent. Thanks so much for sharing!
They must be back in stock. Just ordered one. Exactly what I was looking for.
Just got mine in today, and tried it out. The fan blades were bent in a little too much from shipping I guess no biggie bent them back out and then some to get a little more crosswind on each blade. And damn it works quite well. Thank you for making this video.
I use this for my hot tent woodstove and also in the sauma at my cabin. Works awesome.
I used the same, it works great. A good talking piece.
I did this mod & it's absolutely spectacular! Instead of the plant stake, I just notched the back of the base with a grinder so it hooks on the grille
What a very good tip, thanks for passing it on. My sister has a few of these buddy heaters for emergency and I'm going to purchase two of these for her.
she needs three.
Good idea. Will definitely be getting one for my kerosene heater.
Absolutely simple gonna do it to my heater(buddy heater)like yours n you explained it easy n simple thanx very much 😊
This is brilliant! I could have used this a few years back when I was using my Buddy heater in my tall 8-person tent. The air in the lower half of the tent was freezing and the air in the upper half was toasty. Getting dressed was a comical exercise in lifting our legs into the warm air.
Nice. My older big buddy heater has a built in fan which uses batteries (don't think it comes that way anymore). But to save on batteries I will definitely be getting this fan. Thanks for sharing
👍👍can’t go wrong, they work with any heat source. Worth it!
I had a small computer fan at first, then I got a deal on a three blade fan and I bought it.
Yes it works pretty good.
That's a great idea using the tomato stake to mount your fan I'll be watching for these twin fans to return to stock.
Excellent mod that's easy to attach to Mr Buddy. Something I can do without having 2 use tools. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Excellent !!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Great idea. It even looks good- kind of scifi / robot- like. 👍🏻✌🏻
That "plate" on the bottom you showed is actually a bimetal spring designed to cantilever the fan so it doesn't over heat and fry the peltier. Nice idea in general but
C
Thank you I don’t have one of these buddy heaters but I do have a wood stove so I bought one off your site 🤩
Thanks for sharing the idea
Thank you, from Aurora Ontario Canada
I've never seen the double fan before. Genius!
Yep it works great .I did this with a single fan 3 years ago . I heated my tiny house with it .
I bought this exact one for my Big Buddy Heater and it works great. If Amazon is out wait and get one as soon as they come back (they will come back). I think the double fan works better than the single fan but it looks better anyway
Thanks for your video because I use my heater buddy all winter and I've been looking for a fan just as you
Excellent Idea! Thanks.
Absolutely love the fan. I ha e been surviving in a camper through the winter here in Colorado with a Mr.Buddy heater. I pa pan from my smoker on it to add humidity. But the fan should still fit on it. Thanks for sharing.
I find that the burning propane adds more than enough humidity in my basement. It gets almost "muggy" after a while.
LOL, I have my heater in the exact same place, on top of my dryer. My basement is cold so when I go down to do laundry I put it on to stay warm.
Great tip , this has been my pet hate when camping , as standard fan not that powerful.
Best investment next to my Weber q when camping .👍👍
Thanks for the tip. I went straight to Amazon and got one. Can't wait to try it!
Wrap the wires in foil, and use it on "lo" to keep from melting the wire casing over time.
Thank you for your video! I am impressed! I'm definitely going to try this out.
Be warned the price on this model has gone way up.
@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly thanks for the heads up.
@@rmac7072 I just shot a follow up video. It'll be posted tonight.
This makes a lot of sense they should design one for these units for them.
th-cam.com/video/tJYJmgwxnKE/w-d-xo.html
Yay! Ordered one before I saw this video! I thought that it would work! Wish Id seen this first to give ya credit w/Amazon
Great Video. Thank you for making the video. I'm very familiar with top stove fans set ups, as well as I was experimenting them for emergency situations, Table top stove, oil lamps and different other heat sources. As long top fins are cold and bottom hot, you are good.
I have been hoping for something like this ever since I got mine (won it at a car show). This is perfect. Thank you for sharing.
th-cam.com/video/tJYJmgwxnKE/w-d-xo.html
It would make a cool emoji.
Pretty cool. Not all of those heaters have the built-in fan that runs on batteries or an adapter. Some "regulations" or something to do with certain states. I pointed a Harbor Freight digital IR thermometer at the ceramic plate (it has 2 of them) on my heater while it was on low, from 3 feet away, and once it it hit 999° it went to +140°. Thanks for the pointers on these nifty fans.
Great idea . Thanks for the info 👍
I’ve see. Lots of vids of people putting those fans on their Buddy but those fans are the most awesome I’ve seen. They look like they were made for the Buddy!
I purchased that exact fan last winter. We use it in our ice fishing shelter and the fan made a huge improvement in warming our entire tent which is 6' by 12'. No longer need to wear a coat when at the opposite end of the tent even when it's 40 below outside.
I'll bet. It probably gets nice and toasty.
Just MHO...if it's -40, you should stay home. 😁
I already have one, single fan for top of my wood burning stove at home, tried it on the propane heater and it worked great. Now I can use it this way in my 30’ trailer, much more efficient than the built in heater in the trailer for those cold Baja nights.
I'm getting one for my travel trailer too... Which Heater do you have, or suggest?
@@judichristopher4604 I have the buddy heater, and I recommend using the little fan on top, these fans don’t use electricity they turn on their own once the heat starts raising, but even without the fan they’re really good. Don’t forget to get a carbon monoxide detector.
A terrific idea, thank you!
just did this. works great thank you!
Maybe a clay pot/candle heater behind that with scented candles? Even though it says indoors safe I would have an extra monitor to go along with it
I did this also with my buddy heater last winter and it works fantastic the double fans look the same to it makes such a difference the whole camper is warm now I highly recommend buying the fans as an ad on I paid about $72 for them off of Amazon 👍☺️😎✨
WOW... $72 for the FANS!!! That is expensive... but I'm sure worth it.
Thanks for sharing. Good to know.
Great tip. Thanks for the video
Great ! I did the same last year…. I did learn that you may want to add a metal plate under the fan to prevent too much heat which could damage the fan wires… Cheers 🎉
I put foil over the wires and only use it on low
You can prop an eco fan up in the metal grate. Works great
Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Great idea, Im ordering one now for my rv
Temperature gauge said too hot directly over heat. I put mine on the back slanted down to heat my feet in ice fishing shack with only part protruding over heat. Worked well all winter.
i did that and it melted the ice floor while i slept. woke up 15' under water with 17'' of solid ice over top of me , i died and lost all my gear
These fans work great on kerosene heaters as well. Had the same issue...needed to stand near it in the garage. Once that fan kicks on you can feel that warm breeze from several feet away!
Of course it will work for kerosene heaters anything that generates Heat it's going to work for ice at Meijer in front of my electric heater
this is perfect! thanks for posting!
Thanks for the video. Haven’t seen the dual fans with shrouds. Dig it. Will be ordering ASAP. Also for automotive they sell thermal wire covers. You could cover the wires and have excellent heat protection.
I actually covered them with foil, and only use the heater on LO
Tinker with the attachment to sit more on the handle, heard it melted the wires on the back of this unit by a commenter below.
Probably correct: wire that won't melt most of the time is Machine Tool wire but that is if you can find somthing that isn't cheap shoddy fake-o-matic · Housing looks plastic so I am going to move on ○ Please note Eastway Sales
*{ QPG2+PP Denver Harbor/ Port Houston, Houston, TX }*
Astounding what good they did for me ~ Antique Dearborn now in service allows me to survive the recent deadly storm
The new model you show as the "alternate version" does not have the same hollow base so it looks like it would be more of a challenge to fit a mounting wire that would make attachment to the Buddy Heater possible.
Nice! Nice and simple. Tank you
Wow this is prefect for use in my tab camper it my save me propane usage cool video wish you would show how it works with heater in low. Thanks much
Lynn
love the gold nail polish.
He has a small daughter that is into gold nail polish. A true mark of a good man and father is letting his baby girl polish his nails. Good one on you Sir.
@@patricianaughton-termini433 I agree, any guy that lets his daughter paint his nails or nail in this case, is a good guy
I use one of these in my 5Th Wheel RV I live in! It's what saved me in the recent severe winter weather while power was out! 1 17# grill tank lasted 5 days with hose you can buy to make it hook up to the tank...
I'm glad you're ok.
@@DanHiteshew-oneandonly Just found your channel, new subscriber here 👍
Wait... You don't have to have the tiny little propane for this... Is there any difference in attachments?
(Don't laugh) What is a Grill Tank? Is it Bigger than a normal 20# tank? Taller?
@@judichristopher4604 there is a hose you can use to directly attach a larger tank to the heater. A grill tank is just a 20 pound propane tank. Standard.
@@nude_cat_ellie7417
That is what I thought, but wasn't sure...
Thank you so much for your help.
Holy 💩 this is amazing thank you, merry Christmas happy New Year.
Brilliant!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
That is so cool! Will order and even better, it now looks like a little heater man! Look at the face it made! 😁 eyes, nose and mouth… he needs a name now 😆
I have the Dewalt version of this (from Mr. Heater), has ability to put 2 cylinders on and a built in fan, using the Dewalt 20v battery. Can also use with a reg. propane tank. But works fairly well considering its small size.
Yeah, I've seen that one. It looked pretty cool.
Thanks for posting this.
Excellent idea thank you very very much and God-bless you my friend
I've been doing this for years! Love it!
How do you stop the wires from getting burnt ? I did the exact thing as the video ,and my wires are melting ..
@@terohaukka965 not sure how or why your wires are melting if the fan is on top of the heater. Mine look the same as the day I did this mod.
Great idea!! Looked them up on Amazon and they are $90 for the fans.
Once I get the chance I will certainly be ordering this!!
Here's a less expensive fan for $35 amzn.to/3DOv9xN
Ebay has them for under 20, dont know if the quality is good or not.
Wherever your shopping from you need to stop shopping there I got mines for 8 bucks on Amazon
got a double fan for $68 (Canada)
What a great idea thanks so much for sharing ! Going to go see if I can find those fans…..subbed right away….
