Buddy Heater accessories designed and built in Pine City, Minnesota: hangers, stands, fan kits, and cooking attachments made to fit Mr. Heater's Buddy series portable heaters. Herc builds the gear that gets the heater off the floor, moves its heat through the space, and puts the burn to work on lunch, all backed by a 30 day try it policy and a 2 year warranty, with free U.S. shipping on orders over $100.
The Buddy is the heater half the ice shacks in Minnesota run. These are the accessories that make it earn more of its floor space.
What's in this collection?
Position. The Herc Buddy Heater Hanger Accessory gets the heater up off the floor and out of the traffic of boots, buckets, and tip-ups. The Buddy Heater High Rise Heater Stand does the same job free-standing, no wall or post required.
Airflow. The Herc Buddy Heater Fan Kit improves airflow so the heat moves through the shack instead of pooling in front of the burner.
Cooking. The Herc Outdoors Buddy Heater Cooker Plate turns the heat you're already running into a cooking surface. The Buddy Heater Hot Diggity Dog, the Herc Portable Heater Warmer Plate, and the Herc Portable Heater Toaster handle lunch on the ice without hauling a separate stove.
Which Buddy Heater models do these fit?
Herc builds versions for different heaters in the Buddy series, with the exact models listed on each product page. Check yours before ordering, or contact us and we'll tell you straight. Running a different heater? The same accessory lines exist for Heat Hog and Clam heaters, and the full portable heater accessories collection holds everything.
Do these change how I run my Buddy Heater?
No, and they're not meant to. Mr. Heater's manual sets the rules for clearances, ventilation, fuel, and safe operation, and every Herc accessory is used within them, never instead of them. Position a hung or stand-mounted heater with the same clearances the manual requires on the floor, keep the required ventilation, and stay with any heater that's cooking food.
Frequently asked questions
Are these accessories made by Mr. Heater?
No. Herc Outdoors is an independent Minnesota manufacturer, not affiliated with Mr. Heater. We design and build these accessories in Pine City to fit the Buddy series, and each product page lists exactly which models each one fits.
Can I hang a Buddy Heater in an ice shack?
That's the hanger's job: up off the floor and out of the way of boots, gear, and dog tails, with the floor space back for fishing. Wherever the heater hangs, keep the clearances and ventilation Mr. Heater's manual requires.
Can I really cook on a Buddy Heater?
With an accessory built for it, yes. The cooker plate, warmer plate, toaster, and Hot Diggity Dog are designed to use the heat the Buddy already puts out. Follow the heater's operating instructions and never leave it cooking unattended.
What if it doesn't fit my heater?
Run it for 30 days in your shack, garage, or camp. If it doesn't install clean and hold up, send it back under the try it policy. Everything also carries a 2 year warranty.
