If I push and hold the start button down for a few seconds (to begin releasing gas) before pressing it down completely to engage the spark igniter, the pilot flame lights every time. If I press the start button completely down in one stroke, it seldom lights. I have good one and a dud. I'm gonna go try that. Dan, I tried that still no bueno. Mine will light but even holding down for up to 2 minutes it won't stay lit. Any thoughts guys ? I would suggest watching this video first to get an idea of what's what and what it's supposed to do. Doing so will likely save you time and money. Thank you sir. !

Hadn’t thought of this potential problem. I have my home, a rent house and a mobile home at my rural property. All with heat and water heating using natural gas or propane.
I’ll buy some.
Thanks all.

Mr. Buddy is the way to go, in my humble opinion. If yours isn't working, then just fix it if you can or get another one. (Yes, I know they've gone up in price, but they're perfect for deer blinds. You don't realize how good they're working until the one you're using runs out of propane!) And, although it says it's safe indoors, I always have a window open to get some ventilation. Better safe than dead.

My Heat Hog that can run level or tilted at 30-45 degree angle is pretty nice, 3000-9000 BTUs

My Heat Hog that can run level or tilted at 30-45 degree angle is pretty nice, 3000-9000 BTUs And has turnable knobs to start and temperature setting; can't stand the push button ignitor of the Little Mr. Buddy, 45-75 seconds depressed to ignite it, no thanks...

I agree that small Mr Buddy is hard to light but the medium size one is not. I like the tilt idea you described but Ive got so many Mr Buddy I cant see changing if I want more.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Can you light these manually with a lighter? I recall that striker being loud as hell.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I’m getting some of the detectors. My home, a rent house and my trailer house in the country all heat and cook with gas.

I use the Mr. Cooker in the 4'x4' non-insulated wood blind. It's 15,000 BTU, match lit, and can be stood up as a heater, or laid down as a cook top. Perfect for warming up me and tacos.
Only have to run on low heat for a few minutes at a time before shutting it down, even in single digit temps. I crack 2 windows open to let any fumes escape and let fresh air in. Never been an issue.
I also keep a paint can with TP and 91% alcohol as a backup heater, but haven't used it in the last 2 seasons.
I'll be using the same model heater in my new blind for next season, which is 8'x8', but insulated.
