Heater

little buddy works for me

[greensider]

Ours will get plenty of off season use camping and in my hunting blind  we also ordered the little kerosene heater for unheated Florida room and camping

Trangia alcohol burner with 91% rubbing alcohol most of the time.

If it's super cold out, I'll go hobo style and use a small coffee can full of alcohol with a roll of toilet paper in it for a wick.

Raquettedacker I like the tin idea to reflect the heat up ..may incorporate that on my buddy system Thinking of some magnets and a cookie sheet .

This is the kerosene heater I am getting just to have for other uses but might try it out ice fishing as well you can put a pot on top for cooking

  Good luck with your heater but I think your going to be disapointed as that kerosene will probably choke you to death inside a shanty

[greensider]

I run them in basement occasionally and if set right there is no smell or fumes but as said I got a new buddy heater we got this for camping and our Florida room

Got this for Christmas and have been using it this year in my Otter Cabin hub. Only runs on a regular tank so have to lug the 20 pounder. Nice in that it doesn't take up too much space, but even on low I need to have a couple windows open.

i remember those  old  coleman  kerosene heaters   ....  i remember  they killed people and  finally where taken off the  market turned  my eyes  red and   choked  me

I have a 1.5 man flip over shanty and use a Coleman catalytic heater, pretty inexpensive and extremely frugal on propane. One canister will last a day and keeps me plenty warm unless it’s really bitter out and windy. I think it cost me $35 a few years ago on eBay.

Was out yesterday in my 2 man flip over ran the buddy on low was pretty damn warm in there had to keep two zippers open for air flow

 I use a sun flower in my 2 man ,
In my 1 man my radiant 5 heater bulb crapped out so I purchased a little buddy , nice heater but heats from the top down do to the angle , so it’s now a back up for my buddy which points the heat toward you
 Food for thought

Thanks , the outfit  I had  can’t get the material to make them , it only put out 3500-5000and as you know you can direct the heat , I never needed 5000, as 3500was more than enough even on the coldest days , best heater I’ve ever owned

[DR.SPECKLER]

Yeah think i saw it on walleye central maybe.post was from 2016 but saw mention that its just stainless steel screen.the focus 5 is way better a heater than any buddy heater.so easy to light,even outside in wind.

[filetandrelease]

 
 I totally agree and will light soaking wet , can’t beat those death heaters 😁

Buddy heater for me.  I use a wheeler all the time so I have a 20lb and a long hose on it.  Mounted the tank on the back and it lasts me the entire season . Cost to refill about $9. These heaters will last a long time if you take care of them like anything else.

I didn't know what kind of heater i have. I just looked up what a focus 5 was after reading your posts, and yeah, that's what i have! I got it from my uncle who go it from a coworker, no clue how many owners it had before that guy.

The igniter doesn't work on it and this past weekend the flame didn't change when i kicked it up to high but that might have been when my tank was about beat.

Someone on FB earlier this season as selling a whole setup that included one that looked brand new.

I never run it on high in my 1 man flip over, but everything was freezing up on me that morning so i tried to kick it up on high and it didn't change at all. If i remember, that partial tank didn't last very long that morning, so that makes sense.
