    My son-in-law and I used a BIG buddy heater for my Cow Moose hunt in the Snowy Range mountains here in Wyoming. We only used one of the two pads on the heater and it kept us toasty warm in my Un-Insulated 7x16 ft. Cargo trailer. I've got one on my short list, along with a Champion LP powered Generator. I sure liked that heater that he brought along!

    It is not wall mounted. It is a "torpedo" style. But it is designed for heating large construction sites. Like I say, it heats the place up quick.

    O.K. I'm going to show my a$$ here, but I've been doing that a lot lately, so...

    Damn man that's hardcore... We used to use those when I was working in a precast concrete factory to speed up the cure time. But ours ran on diesel. Those torpedoes can pump out some heat in a hurry!

    I have the one that runs off of the 1 pound tank. It throws off a lot of heat. Got it at tractor supply when the temperatures were hovering around 0 degrees last winter.
    What's the difference between a crackhead and a tweaker?
    The crackhead will steal your shit and bounce--the tweaker will steal your shit and then help you look for it.

    You can get a kit for it so it will hookup to a 20 pound bbq bottle. It's way more economical to run it that way, the kit will pay for itself in savings from having to buy the 1 pounders. Make sure to get the filter or you run the risk of clogging the element up.
