When it gets close to winter (and some of us are already there), you need to start looking for ways to stay warm outside at night. Or in our case, when ice starts to collect on the power lines, we need to find a heater that can run on something other than electricity!

With that thought in mind, I like the portability and durability of the Mr. Heater "Buddy" LP Gas Heater models. There are three models to choose from: the "Little Buddy" which has a rating of 3,800 BTU's and is good for camping or small areas around the home. The standard Mr. Heater "Buddy" which is 4,000-9,000 BTU's, and is good for heating standard-sized rooms during those electricity-free nights and runs for 5 hours at its max and longer depending on the thermostat setting. And finally, the Mr. Heater "Big Buddy" heater which is rated up to 18,000 BTU's. The "Big Buddy" can heat 400 square feet for over 200 hours on just one tank! Which is just about the longest amount of time any of us would ever want to be without electricity!
