Buddy Heater Pro Tip

Sharing a random thing I found out on accident years ago.

Instead of just High-Medium-Low, you can slowly turn the knob between settings to dial in the heat level you want (same with a regular Buddy to make a medium setting)

Especially nice with the Big Buddy, where it’s normally both burners on high or just one on high. You can set one on high and one on low (medium high) 13,500 BTUs instead of a big jump from 9,000 to 18,000 BTUs

Light both burners on high for a little bit, then slowly dial it down.

The same can be done from Low to Medium to make a Medium-Low setting (6,750 BTUs instead of 4,500 or 9,000)

I did as well, on accident.

I’m getting “flamed” on FB from a few guys because “the owner’s manual” says you can’t do this.

To be clear, don’t run any burner lower than what a single burner looks like on factory low.

I’m just sharing that there’s levels between low and high that don’t “click” in.

I get Calvin & Hobbs on FB. Also Far Side.

Sidetracked——-BH question, anyone have their B.H. turn off with every little bump? This must be a safety feature, but the lawyers had too much say in it.

Yes, they have a tip-over switch built in.

You may or may not be able to bypass it
