Big Buddy Heater
I keep seeing reference to using a Olympic Catalytic heater in the winter, near as I can tell its basically a Buddy heater? I have a 4000, 9000, 18000 Buddy that is set up to run off of a propane tank...

I would never own a Mr. Buddy heater, somehow a high pressure propane cylinder next to the open flame does not thrill me. Yes it is thrilling. Or could be. .

BTW Mr Buddy does not produce "Much" CO, while my Olympic Catalytic Heater does not produce nearly as much CO. CO is dangerous, and that is why Mr. Buddy heaters are not sold in Canada.

The Buddy is and has been sold in Canada now for many years. They are sold at most camping and outdoor stores by the skid full. We have used for years for ice fishing tent and shack and that is where a lot of them end up. I have a line I have run from my tanks through the floor and can run inside the trailer for the late fall early winter camping. We do always leave a vent or window open a little and have never had any issues camping or ice fishing at 30 below either. Great units the Big Buddy or the smaller one if you don't need as much heat.
