Great video! No fluff and straight forward. At first I thought the electric start was kind unnecessary but from a quiet hunting perspective it makes sense you don’t want to crack the pilot and spook any nearby animals.

Does the propane smell if your way While hunting? Because sent controls is everything ..

[@JosephHunstad]

You make a very good comment. I hunt from inside of a redneck blind so sent control is not that difficult for me plus I’m a rifle hunter so I’m shooting at a lot much longer distance. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.

Could you light either one with just a match?

[@JosephHunstad]

Yes, you can light the pilot light with a match but then you need to let that heat up in order for it to allow the main burners to light up. Thanks for your question. It’s a good one. Consider subscribing. Thanks Joe.

[@brandonyoung7760]

@JosephHunstad yes sir I appreciate it. I think a match might be more quite than the electronic ignitor? What do you think.

[@JosephHunstad]

@@brandonyoung7760 yes and no. For the standard heater for sure but for the hunting buddy it has that electric starter. It’s almost silent. Thanks.

[@brandonyoung7760]

@JosephHunstad ok it sounded very loud in the video. Maybe the video audio just makes it sound louder

The little buddy 9,000 BTU lasts longer on a tank

[@JosephHunstad]

Yes, you are correct. The Hunter buddy, however has many better features to heat settings and the electric start which I think set it apart and make it superior. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
