Jazz Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I have a Big Heater Buddy. Used to love it, but it got REAL finicky. I thought of adding a propane filter when it started acting up. Then it wouldn't even work. I'm done with this thing. I've spent more than a few nights colder than I had to be. What's a good one? I'll be using it as a backup in an Alaknak if I have to. I use the low O2 sensors with them as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Maybe try blowing compress3d air through the lines and low pressure air through the element and clean it out good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
More D Report post Posted August 14, 2018 They do great but the lines get dirty and or moisture in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted August 14, 2018 That ones the best. The thermocoupler can be finicky. I use a small propain torch to heat the thermocoupler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazz Report post Posted August 14, 2018 I'll take it apart one more time. I thought I covered the bases, maybe not. Maybe there's a youtube or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Sparky Report post Posted August 14, 2018 Get welding tip cleaners and clean the orifice. Also check the thermocouple and low O2 shutoff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
