heating ?

[powdiddy]

looking to heat my fish trap yukon.i have a single burner propane stove and wondering if i can use it in my shelter.besides the flame is  there any other reasons i shouldnt use it.the directions say not to use it inside your house or any other sealed structue because of carbon monoxide.does anyone know anything about these stoves or use one for there shelter.

[beerduck]

i use mine to heat coffee but the things to watch are carbon monoxide and the flame melting your tent

[adkRoy]

just leave a window or  a door flap open for ventilation.

I would be very careful carbon monoxide is nothing to mess with.  I would think you would be OK with a vent open but I would not risk it.  I bought a little heater at wal-mart for $20.  It still give off CO but not near as much and you do not have to worry about the flame.  Just my thoughts.

[powdiddy]

is the carbon dioxide levels any different than a regular shelter heater.

[groum]

I am pretty sure yes.  The way that the heat is being generated and disbursed makes me think it would be, but I make be wrong.

The flame is what worries me the most, i use my mr buddy heater and i also have a 1 burner butane stove that use to cook on inside the shanty, but only use it for the cooking not heating.

I use a colmen 2 burner propane stove inside my shappell and leave a window flap open. It works great.

A battery powered carbon monoxide detector would let you know real quick if the flap is open enough.

I have been using propane for heat in all my shacks for years now that's all everyone uses around here!!! Haven't had any problems yet knock on wood!!
i'm in and out of my shacks enough with tip-ups and other things so it gets good ventilation..

 Last time i had a shack out i used a tow-mantle propane lantern, didnt throw as much heat as a stove but still kept it decently warm.

i use a mr. heater heater/cooker. its awsome and as long as you keep good ventalation you shouldn't have a problem.

[powdiddy]

well thanks for the info guys i might try it once and pick up a buddy heater when i can put a few bucks together.i need to get a cover for my yukon first.$50 for just the cover for that thing man.

I have a friend that uses his stove for heat i just wouldnt spend the night in your hut thats all.
 you have a flip style so open the window next to your head you should be fine

 I use a coleman 2 burner to heat and cook in my shappel3000 shanties. I also am a heating contractor very familiar with co. As stated leave a door or window cracked for fresh air, Do not pack snow around bottom of shanty to block drafts as it blocks air for combustion, and most importantly if you feel drowsey or sleepy open your shanty up and get out and get fresh air. I have thought about overnite trips in mine and do not trust it as I have made co by keeping the zippers fully closed and packing snow around when really cold. It can be difficult to tell if drowsey due to the 12 pak or co. when in doubt air it out

Been using a coleman double - single - or lantern (gasoline) with only 1 major in 33 years of hardwater fishing. monk

I had a close call in my home years back, so I will Air out my shanty every 2 hours or so..... i'll do a full flip.... let it air for 5 seconds or so to let all new air in, then re-flip....it only takes 30 seconds to reheat so its worth the effort.

I would just buy a port. heater instead.

by the way the mr.heater lineup all have a low O2 shutoff, all the mr buddy's will shutdown if 1 the pilot goes out, 2 if the tip-over switch is tripped, and 3 if the CO creates a low O2 situation, if your burning a mr buddy and a camp stove i wouldnt leave the vents closed but the mr buddy will shutoff if the camp stove is producing too much CO (O2 below 19.5%)
