My wife gave me my Christmas present early this year (not unusual). The reason it’s so early this year is because with the weather dropping to freezing and below I can start using it now. The Mr. Heater Big Buddy is a propane heater, and I will be using it to keep toasty warm this winter when I’m smoking cigars in the garage. Of course the added bonus for my wife is that I don’t smoke in the basement, but I don’t think she had that in mind when she bought it?
