I really like the electric start in this model. I have a larger Big Buddy but it is a bit large for those using a smaller camping tent and certainly not for backpacking. However, this Hunting Buddy bridges the gap compared to the smaller output of the standard 4K-9K Buddy, which can get you a little chilly on a very cold night. I find Hunting Buddy much better with an output of 6K-12K for all conditions. He is slightly taller, about 1 inch in all measurements, than his brother. Another nice feature is that it has another storage space on the other side for an extra propane tank. People also ask how long it will run on a propane tank. Here's an easy way to always find out how long any heater will last: First, 1 pound of propane = 21,600 Btu. So just take 21,600 and divide it by the BTU rating by the model you are looking for. Satnard Mr. Buddy 4000 BTU low, 9000 BTU high would be 21.66/4000 = 5.4 hours low, 21600/9000 = 2.4 hours high. You can use this formula for any BTU rating on any heater that runs on propane. I hope this helps you decide on your next heater. Finally, when I'm camping I tend not to be very careful with my gear. The plastic mounting of these devices is very flimsy. However, the burner is of good quality and works even if you break open the outer shell.
