Best propane heater set up for high altitude

In regards to the mr buddy we never really paid attention to elevation, but it’s not like there is a hard cutoff at 7k feet. It’s just going to be less reliable the higher you go and potentially more dangerous as the o2 level becomes thinner and thinner.

The mister buddy crushes through propane at the rate of 1lb on high in about 2 hours and 4 hours on low. That’s around 6lbs of propane on high for a full day, if it were ever to be that cold out. We always ran ours on low. Due to the cost of keeping it running and the frustration of attempting to find little green cylinders all the time, we have given up on propane and moved to a webasto.

If you go the mister buddy route, definitely get a carbon monoxide sensor and you’ll definitely want the adapter to hook it up to a 20lb tank to save yourself some $$$.
