xCompact warmth for every outdoor moment
When you’re hosting a chilly deck gathering, enjoying a frosty lakeside morning, or camping under the stars, the Mr. Heater Buddy delivers focused radiant warmth in a portable, easy-to-use package. With two heat settings, you can tap into up to 9,000 BTU of radiant heat to create a cozy glow without overpowering the space. Quick to set up, it connects to a standard 1-lb propane bottle for simple, on-the-go warmth, and Buddy accessories open the door to using a larger 20-lb tank if you want longer moments of comfort outdoors.
The unit’s compact footprint makes it a versatile companion that can live beside a seating area on a porch, sit beside a campsite chair, or sit safe on a deck while you enjoy conversation, meals, or stargazing. It’s designed to heat space efficiently—up to roughly 225 square feet—so you can tailor warmth to your space without feeling overheated.

How you might use it day to day
Imagine a serene evening on a porch where the air nips just enough to warrant a gentle glow. The Buddy brings a steady warmth that complements conversation, a warm corner for a read-aloud, or a quick boost of heat before stepping into a night-time campsite breeze. Its ability to run from a small 1-lb bottle makes spontaneous outdoor moments possible, while Buddy accessories open up the option to power the unit from a larger tank for longer sessions without swapping bottles.
Safety, simplicity, and portability come together in a unit designed for real-life scenarios. The green, compact body sits unobtrusively next to furniture or equipment, and its radiant heat feels like your own personal fire pit—without the setup fuss of a larger, stationary heater. Use it to extend comfortable time outdoors, from sunrise coffee to evening chats around a campfire-lite glow. While it’s not a guarantee of warmth in every situation, it does offer a flexible, on-demand heat source to enhance your outdoor experience.
