Can 30 lb Propane Tank Be Connected to Big Buddy Propane Heater
Question:
I have a big buddy heater and I would like to see if it would be alright to use a 30ib tank when I bought it from Tractor supply I bought the filter and a 12foot hose. The person said that this is all I needed for it. I just want to know if I can hook up to a 30ib tank. I have had the heater for about 3 to 4 years. Thanks

Yes, you can use a larger 30 lb propane tank with your Big Buddy Heater. Just be sure you're still using your regulator so the propane pressure is lowered to best suit your heater, and your hose has a Type 1 connector on one end like what we see with the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail w/ Back Check # 100833-24.
If you aren't sure about the connections you have then please feel free to shoot me some photos and I'll be more than happy to help you out!
