I have 3 Mr Heater Big Buddy heaters that need to be serviced. Nothing major, just need to be cleaned. Not a good pilot. Does anybody know of someone that can service them in N. MS?

Do it yourself....Blow them out with a air hose and brush the thermocouple tip off with a old tooth brush.
Good help G
They are a pain in the butt if you have to tear into them, blowing it out might help but I have had to tear into mine twice. What I get for leaving them in the stand all year, spiders tend to build next in them where the pilot is. I got one laying in a stand rite now that is torn all to pieces.:banghead
When I put mine up in storage I put it in a garbage bag and tape it up....I still blow it out every year though and clean the thermocouple tip. No problems.
They are good heaters. I store in a bag as well.
Something about Fuel, fiberglass , fumes and fire just flat out scares me,, I just am too afraid to use a heater in a boat
G's helpful hints is as good as can be unless something is broke inside.
Here is a video made by Mr. Heater.............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5UNAvPWXNE

Did you get them going Don ?
Nope.. One has a whistle to it when cut on medium or high.. The other has a propane smell.. did get the third going.
The whistle sounds like a little trash in the orifice, it's tiny hole. Most of the time it can be removed from the tubing and use a small wire to clean it out. A pack of orifice cleaners can be found in the welding section of hardware and home improvement stores. You don't want to open the hole up anymore than it is now.
Propane smell is a leak. A loose fitting, bad gasket or O ring. Mix some dish soap and water on the thick side. Turn the gas on, place a finger on the orifice. Use a small brush or drip some soap on all the fittings. Watch for bubbles.
Canebreaker you should just give that fella the design to your heater pot
He's wanting to heat with propane, not electricity.
