Model MH18B of the Big Buddy indoor safe propane heater keeps hearts focused on needful tasks, and knuckles warm and agile during the cold winter months. Indoor propane heaters can also be your main source of heat during power outages.
Heat in the winter is essential. Sure your home is heated. But what about those drafty work spaces. The ones in attics, garage benches, storefront studios, wood working barns, and wear houses playing host to holiday float construction, and yes even the neighborhood gaming centers we used to call tree houses. When not in use the Big Buddy indoor propane heating unit is ready for if/ when the power fails.
Cutting down on heating bills is essential for any responsible or budgeted house hold. Even with forced air systems. Often pushing warm air to every part of a home or work area is impractical and wasteful even if cost is not an obstacle.
A space heater is a great standard to fall back on in a pinch this season.
The MH18D indoor propane heater of Enercos Mr. Heater line now is able to put out 18,000 BTU/HR. That kind of power will warm a 400 square foot enclosed area: For about 220 hours at a time!
Even though this heater will warm those folks, who other wise be in the cold, four seasons to come; the DHS on the label doesn’t stand for human services. Big Buddy model MH18B has a Dual Heating System (DHS) that brings together radiant heat with convection air flow.
This is the secret to the Big Buddy being able to have such a far reaching warm radius.
The fan in this propane system can be powered through a wall plug, or with 4 D batteries.
The setting will determine how much heat is being put out as usual. These settings are at 4,000, 9,000, and 18,000 BTU/HR. There are four dials of the MH18B to control both heat and position.
The model has the standard safety oxygen shut off and tip over switch to prevent accidents.
Big Buddy MH18D has received safety certification from both the International Gas Association, and this organizations North American representation.
The back of the heater is also contoured to fit into a wall mount easily.
The bottom of this unit has no skid padding to keep it from sliding around in a work area.
The Big Buddy MH18B indoor safe propane heater is keeping alcoves, and personal work spaces warm this season.

Additional Items to consider buying:
I suggest purchasing the Mr. Heater Hose with Regulator and Quick Disconnect for the Big Buddy heater to attach to a 20lb propane tank.
C. Nitschmann explains it well saying:
chose this quick disconnect hose instead of the hose that connects to the heater’s regulator because this hose is equipped with a regulator at the bulk tank end thus reducing the hose pressure to a much safer 1/2 lb. psi. This hose also has a built in filter in the regulator eliminating the purchase of an additional filter.
Throw in the Mr. Heater Optional 6 Volt Power Adapter to keep your fan blowing (without batteries) and you have a complete, useful indoor propane heating system for under $150!
