What’s the smallest portable propane heater? Tough to say, but it’s hard to find anything much more portable than the appropriately named “Little Buddy” by Mr Heater. If you want a highly portable but indoor safe propane heat solution, look no further. This is handy inside the RV or out in the campsite.
The Little Buddy takes the Mr Heater propane heat concept to the logical extreme. Measuring only 12 by 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches, this is a product you can take just about anywhere.
Yet it kicks out some 3800 BTUs of heat. That’s enough to heat a 100 square foot room. For many RVs, this heater will be perfect in size and functionality. It would be a great supplemental heat source in many situations.
Again, the real upside of this heater is portability. Although the Little Buddy is indoor safe, it’s also made to deliver heat outside. For example, this is a heater you can sit near the picnic table with no reservation. Many people take these heaters on hunting trips or even to the driving range.
Little Buddy delivers continuous odor-free heat for up to 5-1/2 hours.
It’s controlled via simple on/off buttons.
As for fuel, it uses 1-pound disposable propane cylinders. You know, the little green tanks.
There are a couple of nice indoor safety features. Little Buddy boasts a low-oxygen sensor and an accidental tip-over switch with auto shut-off.
