The new generation Big buddy heaters from 2023 requieres a triple A battery to ignite the pilot switch to give you the blue flame. However, the battery cap included is not the correct size for American triple A batteries.
Give mr heater a call so they can ship you the correct cap size & get your pilot light working

This big buddy heater included the extension to the 20lbs tank, bought from Sam’s club in austin tx for $162 after tax

Same here! I was starting to go crazy. Now that the battery is installed, we’re good and toasty. 😁

i returned the REAL nice looking green one because i thought it was defective. it's VERY likely it wasn't. i never thought to check this. thanks mr heater for your GREAT advertising.

Had the same issue I wadded up a piece of steel wood about the size of a q tip end and put it in the cap to complete the circuit from the AAA battery and it works till I get the proper cap from Buddy heater

OK ... I was just going to try the tin foil fix and husband just turned the AAA battery over so the flat side went in first ... it worked. Usually the spring goes on the flat side of the battery ... but not this one I guess. Thanks for your video!

Does that Mr. Buddy unit that you fixed with the replacement battery compartment cap come with a built in fan?

@stevensandoval4208 7 ай бұрын

Yes it does, but you need 4 batteries or a cable to power the built in fan. Mine came with a cord that connects to the wall

That may be what is wrong with ours ... no spark at all.

I bought a Mr Heater this evening and I’ve spent hours trying to get it to light. The bottom of my heater looks different than yours , I don’t see where there could be a battery nor does it mention a battery in the manual. At this point I’m freezing. Any other ideas?

@stevensandoval4208 6 ай бұрын

You can hold down the pilot switch & light the heater with a lighter. If your propane is rolling then you should be able to turn it on with a lighter since the spark isn’t lighting. The manual for the big buddy does a bad job at explaining the battery concept. You don’t see any small black cap underneath your heater? Call mr heater and ask them what’s going on.
