Thats a nice lookin shanty.. Big Buddy would do a great job..
I built a 6X8 ice shanty made intirely out of cedar. I had it insulated with spray foam insulation. The floor, walls and ceiling is all insulated. I also have the interior walls covered with paneling. I plan on installing a CO2 detector and a heater. I would like to sleep in it nights but I ma concerned about what kind of heater to install. I have seen some guys on here use Empire heaters would these be a good choice? Its so well insulated it will not take much but the more comfortable the more time I will be spending in it. Any suggestions?Here are some photos of the shanty(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
I am with the other guys....a Big Buddy Heater with a 20lb tank and you would be set. The Big Buddy would be more than enough to keep you warm.
Just out of curiosity, who did you have spray the shanty. I have to ask as I have been spraying the foam for about 26 years. I did a few of my own shanty's many years ago while in Michigan as well as my hunting blinds. You could heat them with a candle once they were sprayed.
Big buddy would be the best bet...20 tank and you would be in business...
I have a Big Buddie heater but I am very concerned about CO2 poisening. Not so much with me but my son. With it being so air tight I should have a vented heater.
I use a 15,000 Empire Direct Vent in my wheelhouse. I still use a CO detector and sleep with the window cracked a bit, but don't worry about waking up in the morning. I don't know how small they go, but there used to be a 10,000 BTU Empire. You can always turn the thermostat down.
16,000 Empire Direct Vent is the smallest I have found and its $400
A direct vent propane heater would be best. All the combustible gases go outside and they will run off a thermostat.
This is what i use by nu way you can get them in gas or wood and they vent out side with a 3" pipe.(Image removed from quote.)
Whats the price on that?
I have the Big Buddy heater my self and i think there is a CO shutoff that auto shuts it off if needed. I think when they first came out they did not. I saw a bunch of them cheap at sportsmans warehouse one time and asked why so cheap and was told they had to sell as seconds as they were referbished when the put the CO shut off into them even though they were still new and not used they could not sell them as new being they were a recall or something like that.
Your right! I totally forgot about that, well that saves me money from buying a CO2 detector.
