[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 199585, member: 367"] I'm new to buddy heaters and have a question or two.. First time I used my new big buddy outside in a windbreak with just a slight breeze it wouldn't stay lit. I assumed the breeze was blowing it out because it would light right back up and burn hot until it quit again. After about an hour I finally got tired of lighting it and put it away and endured the cold. Is this normal ? ?#2 Have you ever had one pounders leak ? A week later I fired it up one morning and it went out right away, tanks were empty. The tanks were full when I installed them , That I know . My dad tried to learn me the hard way to check for gas leaks with a match , the big buddy instructions said check with soapy water , I passed on both and took a chance. So far I'm not impressed when I compare buddy to the old milk house heaters I've been using for the last 50 years but maybe I got a lemon buddy. [/QUOTE]
