Buddy heater work pretty good but the motion detector kill
is a pain. any slight movement will shut it off.
I went with a heater unit on a 10lb tank which gives much more heat
and is around the same price. (maybe cheaper)

I have a little buddy heater on my boat and it works great. I only have it on when trolling so the auto shut off is not an issue. The small one pound cylinders are $7-8 bucks each so I bought a small 5 pound tank and an adapter hose and it costs me six bucks to fill it................BRS

There's adapters on Ebay for like $10 to refill 1 pounders from a 20 yourself.
The adapters are also available on Amazon for a few dollars more and free shipping if you have Prime.
Here is the adapter I purchased.

I went with the one below because I liked the big plastic knob, the ones you showed from amazon are under $8 with shipping on Ebay.

Thanks.
I purchased mine from Amazon so that I did not have to wait weeks for a shipment from Hong Kong or China. Also in general, Amazon return policies are much easier when needed, so cost savings are only part of any purchase decision factor for me.
Edit. I checked my Amazon order and see that I only paid $10.59 for the adapter earlier this year.

I fill my 1 pound bottles from a 20 tank. You get them about 70 % full. I have 10 bottles that I fill and keep 2-3 on the boat. After a year of refiling I take them up to Harland Landfill with my recycling and exchange them all for 10 new looking ones that people have tossed. The last time I got 4 full ones from the crate that holds all the used ones.
