I have that exact heater and I like it. I was not sure if I should get that one or the big buddy with the two burner/18,000 btu. This heater is all the heater I needed for a quick fish 3. This was a little less bulky. I got it last year about this time of year. I don't think it was 99.99 like that add has.. . More like 79.99 at Mills Fleet F.
I've had good luck with the "Reconditioned" stuff I've got in the past to. I'd buy one if I were you and in the market for a heater.

I made a small cover over my pilot on my Big Buddy with a couple air holes . This really helped with pilot light blow out .
I just picked up a Buddy heater that came with storage bag on sale for $58 . I plan to make a shield for this pilot also .

Is there any possibility of posting a picture of the pilot light shield?

http://s213.photobucket.com/albums/cc110/highsparks/?action=view¤t=IMG_0237.jpg If you use galvanized steel , be sure to burn the zinc off in an open area , not in your shack or it could make you ill. Be careful drilling your rivet holes not to hit anything under the tin. I plan to redo it and leave out the middle hole , as it will still blow out if you use it outside in the wind .

Great idea; Thanks for the pictures. I would think a shield could be made from aluminum also.

Transfer
). Might be a good idea to maybe just shut the heater off if your gonna have it exposed to really high winds for a prolonged period. Better safe than sorry ya know...
