answer 1
Yes, this Big Buddy heater will run and produce heat without electricity.
Not only does the blower run with AC electricity but it can also be powered by 4 D cell batteries sold separately, great for your application.

answer 2
The Big Buddy CAN be used without power. However, it can also be used with 4 "D" batteries to power the fan. The battery life seems to be good, and it does a much better job of dispersing the heat with the fan running. I would still like to have the AC adapter, but I have been satisfied enough with battery power that I am not in a big hurry to get it. For my use of the heater, I use the fan anytime I have the heater on high. If heat requirements are not that great, as when it is a small area I'm heating, I leave the fan off. When the heater is on high, it gets quite hot, and I'm afraid that without the fan the heat might eventually damage it.
As far as other heaters that do not require power, most small portable heaters do not have a fan. The regular Mr. Heater Buddy, to my knowledge, has no fan, and therefore requires no power.

These heaters use batteries... D cell. So, you can heat your shop/shed without running power out there. I've ran the blower for several (like 8 hrs) on a set of fresh batteries. Keep a spare set or get yourself some rechargeables if you're going to be operating it for extended periods of time. Also, they have the hose/adapter kit for hooking this up to a large (5gal) propane tank so you don't have to swap out the small coleman style camp stove canisters.

NO, you are not required to use the fan, the fan operates by either 120vac adapter, sold with other Mr. Buddy accessories or via size D batteries, I forget how many it takes, thinking it's 3 or 4?

does not require electricity, can use 4 d size batteries
for fan on unit but would be expensive to use this way if used on regular basis, but batteries work fine if used for emergency use due to power outages ect.
