Was in Academy this morning and they had the Mr. Heater small Buddy heater on sale for $79.99 if anyone is looking to buy ome for your deer blind or other use.

I assume that is for the smaller model. That puts it at $5 less than Amazon...so a good price indeed.

I used a Coleman Blackcat that does not produce as much heat, but is also a catalytic heater. Next time around, I may go with the Mr. Heater, but either way, a cataytic heater is a very nice accessory in the stand.

I also have the small Coleman catalytic heaters for my 4x4 box blinds with sliding windows. They do an acceptable job unless the outside temp is in the low 20's.

mr buddy is a great heater works great on my 6x6

THat is what I have in my 4x6, and we have to turn it down even when the temps get below 20. My blind is sealed really well though. You could use it as an indian sweat lodge in the summer.

I saw them the Mr. Heater at Tractor Supply today for $74.99. I used one heater yesterday morning for the first time and it is awesome. I've always used the Colemans, which I thought worked well until I tried this one. To me there is no comparison. I ran it on low all morning and still had to move it away from me because it put off so much heat. That would probably be the only drawback is that I could see it getting too warm in a small blind.

But that is the nice thing about them, just turn it down to pilot and it still puts out a little heat. Can't do that with a Black Cat heater.

Got a Bass Pro frier in the mail this evening and they too have the small Mr. Heater on sale for $79.97.

I slept in there a week ago outside temp about 35, my Big Buddy was in low and I was plenty warm!

Cabelas has then recoditioned for $44. Just bought 2.. Better hurry because they will sell out.
