Thread: Using a Big Buddy while Spider Rigging

I am ready to pull the trigger and get a Big Buddy heater for my boat. I did a search and didn't find out if the tip over sensor would be a problem when the waves are kicking up. Any info? Thanks

I would tie it down to keep it from doing that.

I'm not too worried about it tipping over. I am wondering about the boat's rocking action.

shouldn't effect it at all

Is this a good price?Mr Heater Portable Buddy Big Propane Gas Heater Indoor Outdoor Heat Safe Cabins 089301320000 | eBay Do they make a smaller version?

I have the Big Buddy...you can usually find it for around $130. I think it's 18,000 BTU. Love it!

I use a little Buddy and rocking does not affect it. Wind will blow it out though.

I also see a Buddy that is 9,000 btu's.What size do yall have?

For a minute their, just judging from the title of this thread, I thought you were talking about fishing with slabin, or Big H, or one of our other more portly slab slayers!
