I got a refurbished Buddy last year and it's been great. My usual MO is to drill 2-4 holes on one side of the tent, but one always goes about a foot from one corner. The heater goes in that corner, usually in a footing made from the slush and chips from the hole so it doesn't move, pointing diagonally into the tent. The benefits are that no one gets close to it because of the hole, and the meltwater from the heater drains into the hole. I don't think I'd want to do it with a 10-12" hole, as the heater could get kicked down the hole maybe.
If you get a Buddy and want to use it with a 10 or 20 lb propane tank, it needs a hose. I would recommend getting the hose that doesn't need an external filter. The hose I got was the one that does need a separate filter and not only is it going to need replacing, it's also a pain to fit the hose to the filter.
