IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THIRD PARTY ATTACHMENTS & COOKING ON
BUDDY HEATERS
Enerco Group Inc., (“Enerco”) is the industry leader in the design and manufacture of consumer, heavy
duty commercial, and construction heating products. In 2000 Enerco introduced the Portable Buddy®
(Model MH9B), a portable, radiant propane heater marketed under the Mr. Heater brand. This heater,
along with the entire line of Buddy Heaters including the Little Buddy® (Model MH4B), Big Buddy® (Model
MH18B), Hunting Buddy® (Model MH12HB), Buddy Flex (Model MH11BFLEX), and DEWALT Buddy
(DXH12) incorporate an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (“ODS”), which shuts off the heater if the oxygen in the
area around the heater gets below a specific level. All of the Buddy Heater models are certified to the
applicable CSA/ANSI standards. Enerco is very proud of the Buddy line of heaters and is constantly striving
to ensure they are used safely and properly.
Enerco is aware of a number of third party attachments primarily aimed at warming or cooking food on
our Buddy Heaters. Enerco has reviewed these products and does not believe they are reasonably safe.
Buddy Heaters were designed and certified to a national heating standard and have delivered decades
of comfort to consumers of all kinds. Please be advised that Buddy Heaters are neither certified, nor
safe to be used, to warm or cook food of any kind. Buddy Heaters are not certified as a cooker and not
designed to operate in this manner. Moreover, Enerco expressly prohibits the use of any type of non-
approved attachments with its Buddy heaters.
Enerco expressly prohibits its Buddy heaters from being used for the cooking or warming of foods. Third
party products intended to change the intended operation of the Buddy heaters are not endorsed by
Enerco and, in fact, are expressly prohibited for use as they could cause serious harm to consumers. Use
of such products with Enerco heaters will immediately void the product warranty.
The following 2 paragraphs outline the WARNING and WARRANTY language in Buddy Heater product
manuals.
