I've been trying for 2 days to get my My Buddy Heater to light.

I used it when I deer hunted. The pilot would light but when I tried to turn it to on, the pilot would go out so I couldn't light the panels. I've tried everything they say to do. I kept trying. This morning the thing actually lit properly. Success. I'm not a quitter. But I have no use for it right now.

i have one in the garage

If you use a 20lb propane tank you need filter.
If the pilot lights try waiting a few minutes turning it off then back on. If the switch is stuck on pilot the thermocouple isn't sensing the pilot is on

I repeatedly cleaned out the gas port with alcohol. No luck. This time instead of screwing bottle on hand tight I really tightened down on it good and it lit right up. It stays in it's original box, plastic bag and all so I knew it wasn't dust, dirt, spiders etc. Now it's back in it's box. Hopeing I won't need it.
