Mr. Buddy Hunting Buddy heater won't stay lit

Anything that runs propane I blow air through every spring.  Dust and crud is always building up in gas lines.

This is the part I replaced on mine. Like others on here I cleaned mine out just like all the threads on other forums and YouTube videos. If those don't work then you will need this...

There really isn't much more to a buddy heater after you replace that part.

I have the big buddy and used mine for a week during late deer in Idaho with a bulk tank and had no issues, I did try the small tanks in my garage and noticed it did shut off a time or 2

I have several of these heaters that I use with large tanks and trees with hoses. I added the filter to all of them and that has really helped them be more dependable. Also they must be level and no wind, high elevation above 6000 feet they are even more sensitive.

I used mine at 6500' last season and if I bumped it then it would turn off and I had to re-light it but if left alone I never had an issue. I was worried about the elevation and brought my wood stove but never needed it

Poop. We camp at 8-9,000 feet in the White Mountains of Arizona.
