Portable Buddy 9,000 BTU Radiant Propane Indoor/Outdoor Space Heater

Meet North America’s most popular portable propane heater — the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy. Designed for convenience, safety, and powerful heating performance, this patented radiant heater is the go-to solution for heating small enclosed spaces such as workshops, tents, ice shanties, cabins, or garages. Delivering between 4,000 and 9,000 BTUs per hour, it efficiently heats spaces up to 225 square feet, making it an essential companion for outdoor enthusiasts, tradespeople, and anyone working in cold environments.

The Portable Buddy operates by connecting directly to a standard 1-pound propane cylinder, providing a highly mobile heat source that doesn’t require complex installation or setup. It features a fold-down handle that allows for compact storage and easy transportation, ensuring it fits comfortably in a car trunk, camper, or gear bag when you’re on the move.

Lighting the Portable Buddy is hassle-free thanks to its easy-start piezo ignition system. With just a simple push and turn of the knob, the heater lights instantly — no matches or lighters required. This makes starting up quick and safe, even when you’re wearing gloves or working in freezing temperatures.

Safety is a top priority, and Mr. Heater’s Advanced Safety Detection Systems set the Portable Buddy apart from other portable heaters. It is equipped with a Low Oxygen Safety System (ODS) that automatically shuts off the heater if oxygen levels drop too low, ensuring safe operation in enclosed areas. Additionally, the heater includes a tip-over detection system that will shut the unit down if it is accidentally knocked over, providing an extra layer of security when used on uneven ground or in tight spaces.

A patented swivel regulator makes connecting and disconnecting propane cylinders simple and secure, even when space is limited. For users who need extended heating periods, the Portable Buddy offers the flexibility to connect to a larger 20-pound propane tank with an optional hose and filter, providing hours of uninterrupted, comfortable heat without the need for frequent cylinder changes.

Built with durability in mind, the Portable Buddy is designed to withstand rugged conditions. Whether you’re ice fishing in subzero temperatures, working late nights in an unheated garage, or camping out during hunting season, you can count on the Buddy to deliver reliable heat wherever you need it most.

With its combination of portability, ease of use, safety features, and heating power, the Mr. Heater Portable Buddy is truly in a class of its own. Trusted by millions across North America, it’s the perfect heating solution to keep you warm, safe, and comfortable in virtually any environment.
