With proper cleaning and care, a good gas grill should last you at least five years — and likely more than 10 — with regular year-round use.

Select Weber grills go on sale in the Spring about every two years when new models are being introduced and Big Box stores need to clear out the older versions from inventory. You can find drastic price cuts on certain models but will need to search for them in person as they are not advertised online.

With proper care and maintenance, a good Weber grill will last 10-15 years, and sometimes even more.

between 18-20 hours

Running it on ‘medium’ or the middle setting will last roughly 4 or 5 hours, and on low or the first setting it will run for about 6 hours or so.

Portable Buddy Heater

Heater brand Buddy heaters and similar heaters that use a catalyst do not produce carbon monoxide and are safe for indoor use but still need a window cracked for a fresh air supply.

The obvious benefit is extended run time. For example, two 1lb bottles will give you around 3 to 12 hours of heat (depending on what setting it’s on), whereas the two 20lb propane tanks last for 50 to 220 hours (again depending on the setting).

The buddy heaters are safe for indoor use. We have also used our buddy heater 3 winters in a row with no problems and far better heating than our factory furnace and I have used it right in front of our CO detector never ever a problem.

Yes! You can use your Buddy heater to heat you up over night. It has a built in low oxegen sensor that will turn off the heater if it detects any gas. It will also turn off if it gets tipped over.

The number one danger of using a buddy heater in an enclosed space like your RV is the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. If the heater is not vented correctly, it can use up all the oxygen in a defined space, thus replacing it with carbon monoxide. Even properly adjusted units still produce small amounts of CO.
