scugpg Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I was looking into getting a buddy heater, either the small or medium size and I see that Princess Auto is completely out of stock. Some other places have them but are about $50 more expensive. Anyone have any leads on stock anywhere that will match? Thanks! Edited January 25, 2011 by scugog
vinnimon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Try Transaxle mobile power in your area. The salesman dropped off a catalogue, they are in there! Ill take a looksy in the am.
scugpg Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Vinni. I think closest is Cambridge. Hoping to find one near London if possible.
vinnimon Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Vinni. I think closest is Cambridge. Hoping to find one near London if possible. I will double check in the am, transaxle(cambridge or guelph) dropped a catalogue off on friday. It was in there for a buck and change. As for stock, Im not sure. They may have to order it in. Let me call a friend in the hammer area.
Rob Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks Vinni. I think closest is Cambridge. Hoping to find one near London if possible. TSC stores has them on sale this week, not sure about stock though. Rob
Moosebunk Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Cabelas has them on for $69.99... $103 with duty, shipping and taxes in. But I bet you need it yesterday don't ya. lol.
beginner Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 walmart has some too but a little bit more $114 pretty sure walmart is everywhere.. gudluck..
irishfield Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I prefer this one myself and a 5 or 20 lb tank. You get over a week of fishing out of a 20 lb'r. carefully turn the burner 90* and it will work upright or laying down as a cooking surface. http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/1/HeatingAirConditioning/PortableBaseboardHeaters/PRD~0522630P/Portable%252BPropane%252BTank%252BTop%252BHeater.jsp?locale=en Be forewarned though... you'll end up being the lunch hour chef !

How long would the 5lb tank last.. .assuming it isn't being run all day ?
irishfield Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) All depends on temps and how you like the heat... but at full they say it lasts 35 hours on a 20lb...so would be 8 hour+ on a 5. Pretty sure Ron got 3 days out of his 5lb'r last time he was at my place in Temagami.. might have been only two though. I carry a 20... have never had to refill/change tanks even after 8 days of enough heat to take the chill off and full blast boiling water for Mr Noodles at lunch for the crew or warming our tin foiled wraps. I also got my burner during a 1/2 price sale at CTC.. $30 Edited January 25, 2011 by irishfield

Probably going out this weekend with Dutchy as his new shelter just arrived on Friday...
BillM Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Got an old Coleman 510e coming to me in the mail. Can't beat the old kerosene heaters..
chefboi17 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 I've been looking for a portable buddy too, bass pro only has the big buddy in stock, and princess auto is completely out of all heaters. According to the mr heater web site, true value also carries them.
Fang Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Not sure about the size your after but Liquidation World had some 3000 BTU Coleman Black Cat heaters on a clearout price for $35. I have a 2 person Clam Nanook and the Black Cat cooks that up so I can fish with long sleeve shirt and no coat on most days. On full blast a 1 lb tank last a little over a day in the Black Cat.
scugpg Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys I found one at Home Hardware. Got them to price match. TSC also has them on sale for $90 if you can find stock anywhere. Sale ends in a couple days so you better move on it. http://www.tscstores.com/stage/mainhome.php#loadFG_215032 Carquest also carries them but won't price match anything Edited January 25, 2011 by scugog
chefboi17 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Checked home hardware, walmart, and al flahertys with zero luck. I guess the search goes on

vinnimon Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 single burner propane stove.very cheap. Lots of heat and you can heat your coffee or lunch. A peak 1 backpacking stove as well, extremely light, including the fuel. Fits in your pocket. Thats what I used and still do at times. And no need for a lighter/match.
