  • In this episode, we dig into the Mr. Heater BuddyFlex. After taking a look at the portable buddy, it's nice to take it to the next level with the 180-degree heating range of the buddy flex. Now that we can heat more than just ourselves, let's see what the BuddyFlex can handle.

    You don't need to put Teflon tape on the threads of the hose adapter there is a seal built in to it. Also you need to use a fuel filter.

    Great video, can you put a link in the description for the conversion hoes to connect The Mr. Buddy flex to the 20 pound propane tank.
    Thank you.

    I have a heater buddy , have had one for many years I've set my home up so a propane hose can be fitted into the house from a tank out side , so incase of an emergency the house can be warm with no electricity.. I had to use it one time for three days when the furnace quit working and had to replace it when it was getting down to ten below zero.. every house should have one ..

    What conversation kit for the propane tank did you use , I can’t find one that fits

    I bought the flex heater and it had a funny smell when operating that I didn't get from a plain buddy heater.

    You should always open a propane tank all the way. There is a seal that only engages when it’s fully open.

    I want something for a small tent for early spring trout fishing so many different heater.. in your opinion what heater should I buy

    @tcbink 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Your fittings are sealed by compression, never put tape on the threads. If it leaks something isn’t tight enough.

    I saw another review on TH-cam and he said you had to use a fuel filter on the hose too. Any idea why? I don’t use a fuel filter on my small propane grill with a 20 pound tank and it works fine.

    • @t.c.2776
      @t.c.2776 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's my understanding the Mr. Heater units have a built in filter which is why there isn't room for a filter AND the 1lb can inside that area...

    That dog is just peeping over the wall at the destruction like "Dad's at it again, oh wow, better duck just in case"..and then just pops her head back up because she has to know exactly what you're up to. That's a good girl right there, and she's obviously used to your shenanigans. Lol

    Loved the crash test. No pussy-footing around, no kids gloves. Appreciate some 'reasonable' abuse. Would most likely survive a fall from a tailgate and thats a good thing to know.

    LMAO... you destroyed that anti-tip throwing it around... GOOD JOB... and why would I hook up the cooking unit too the heating unit and have to turn off the heater to cook a meal on a cold day?... that makes no sense...

    • @christopherkhambong2999
      @christopherkhambong2999 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a buddy flex with the cooker they probably have it like that because that cooker puts out an insane amount of heat as well

  • @alexanderclarke8336

    Never ever put sealant tape on a compression fitting it will cause a bad seal.

  • @ridgerunner7980

    put a splitter on the tank to run heater and cooker at the same time, this is a real p.o.s.

    Too expensive...Buddy Heater priced itself iut of the market...the only people who can afford one are TH-camrs and Donald Trump.
