I run a mr. heater little buddy in both my one man flip and my 2 man home made huts. I have never had a problem and the automatic shutoff if kicked or tipped over is a nice feature. Keeps me plenty warm even on albertas coldest days that I am out. It is also smaller then most and you can run a 1lbs bottle for most of the day so it keeps the weight down for the times that you have to pull your hut some distance.

I have several heaters because I don't believe in the one size fits all.

I have a Sportcat which I use on nice days to dry my hands and take the chill out of the air.
Some people like this style.



I like this one, because I can heat up lunch by setting my sandwich on some tinfoil on top.




For 80 to 90 percent of my fishing I have the regular buddy heater.



And for the real, real cold days I have the Big Buddy heater, which takes two propane tanks, (or a hose to a large tank)




I guess you could just get the Big Buddy heater, and run it on Low.  It would need to be a very nasty day when a Big Buddy heater couldn't heat a one man shack.
I have the Clam Voyager, and It gets it nice enough to fish without a jacket.
It's real nice not having to scoop ice from the holes, but it really is a pain to go check the tip ups.

Hope this helps,

Wiener
