Hey Steve, how are you? Princess Auto had the best price on Buddy heaters last year, around a $100.

I went to the Arnprior TSC yesterday and the guy didn't have a clue what I was talking about. He showed me where all the propane heaters were and there was no Buddy heater on the shelf...I'll try the main flyer and see...
I'm also looking for the 12 extension hose with the regulator....I take it that this will connect directly to a 20lb propane tank????

I got mine from the Smiths Falls TSC last year.
Princess Auto did have the best price but where out of stock.
You can also get them from Preston Hardware.

I'll make some phone calls this morning....if I can't locate one here, I'll order one from Cabela's for $99...the dollar is trading at 0.95 today so I won't take too much of a hit on the exchange rate and I can have them ship it to my buddy's girlfriends place in Buffalo to save on all that duty and cross border crap!!

I saw a bunch on the floor of Princess Auto a couple of weeks ago. Two different sizes at least and I think 3.

I got my Buddy at TSC in Rockland last year.
I also have the extension hose, which will fit any propane fitting, ie; propane camping stove....
anyways a great investment, have you checked out the Big MrBuddy, the one with a fan and two ceramic tiles???
Gettingjiggywithit has the one with the two tiles and man that thing heats up really fast!!!
get one, you wont regret it.

What did you have to do to get someone to talk to you at the Arnprior TSC, any time I have been there, nobody will acknowledge you let alone help with anything.
Princess auto will be your best bet, if you are going with the 12 ft extention hose, make sure you get an inline filter too.
