Re: Any Good Ice Fishing Heater Recommand?
I have the MR. Heater Little Buddy. I've had it for 4 years and it gets the job done. My hut is an HT 4-man and it heats it up fast. It has a low oxygen sensor so it will automatically shut off if there is too much CO but it has never happened to me. A 1lb propane tank will last 6 hours on low setting or about 4 hours on high. I bought mine on sale at Home Hardware for $89.99 a few years ago but they usually sell for about $100 and are available pretty much everywhere.

I have a Clam 4000 pop up its 8'X8' and I might need a second heater or to upgrade to the next model with a fan.
For the size of hut that I have. Im fine in the hut with the heater going but my wife is still chilly, The longer she lasts the longer I fish.
Here is the small one.

FYI TSC has the portable buddy heater MH9B on sale this week for 99.99. 4000-8000 btu so it should be enough for a three man.
