Overview
Camo replaces the usual black housing on this Mr. Heater radiant propane heater, built for blinds, tree stands and other hunting setups. It puts out 6,000 or 12,000 BTU/hr from a 1 lb cylinder and heats up to 300 square feet.
The single control knob doubles as a match light ignition, so no electronic igniter or batteries are involved, useful in cold weather where electronics can fail. Like other Buddy heaters, Mr. Heater's warranty only covers its own attachments.
- 6,000 or 12,000 BTU per hour
- Heats up to 300 square feet
- Single knob start with match light ignition
- Camo housing for hunting use
Who it's for
Hunters wanting a low-profile radiant heater for a blind, shed or small enclosed space are the fit here. Open garages or larger rooms exceed its 300 sq ft ceiling and small-cylinder runtime.
Pros and cons
- Camo finish for hunting blinds and stands
- Two BTU settings from one control knob
- Match light ignition needs no batteries
- Heats up to 300 sq ft
- Small 1 lb cylinder limits continuous run time
Performance notes
Radiant heat from the burner warms people and surfaces directly rather than blowing air, which suits an enclosed blind where fan noise would carry. The single knob switches between the 6,000 and 12,000 BTU settings and lights the burner without a separate igniter button.
