Your Kerosene tower heater looks just like the one I bought last fall at Menards. It puts out a nice amount of heat too. I like the metal wire cage they come with, gives it a little more fire prevention protection than the one I bought 25 years ago!

Between the Kerosene tower heater, my wood burning fireplace, and my generator, I think I'm pretty well covered for short term power outages. ( I also keep a few oil lamps on hand too...)

Looks like you got a little unexpected training. Valuable tools that helps get our preps and methods in line.

Bought one of these Mr Buddy heaters for myself this weekend. I got my Dad one last year. Just another level inbetween what I had and allows me to use it in the camper as well. I will be getting the adapter hose that uses the larger tanks as I have been stocking them.

@ matt,

I have an older version of that heater too. It works pretty well. When I was researching adding the large tanks to my heater, all the directions claimed that the tank had to be outside while the heater was inside. I asked some of the guys at Tractor Supply why that was the case and they claimed the fittings with the large tank adapter hose "could" leak and of course that would be bad if the heater and the leaking tank were running in the house at the same time.

I have no experience with the big tank adapter hose, so if you get one; let us know how it works out!
