yeah ive been a lil worried about that. i have some 1/8 inch foam stock at work was thinking of trying to get it to stick up top to kinda insulate the cap a lil bit and hold heat in and also maybe to take care of that problem. wont know till I get her done which might be tonight and then we get ice that im hoping is really soon.

Not sure if im going to insulate or not. Will see how long I have before I hit ice but I would like to.

Id insulate the lower box at least, it will help quite a bit.

Also, I would spray paint as much of it as possible with flat black to use the sun to your advantage. The white wont net you much solar (free) heat.

Paint it black - I have one like this that I made, and it really helps with the warmth. I put it on beams when it is on the lake :thumbsup:and then it does not freeze to the ice when the sun is out or there is a quick chinook.

ok guys all i have left to do is caulk the cracks and make some hole covers and some five gallon pals to seal the holes but if i had to hook on it today and tow it out and fish i could. thanks to my buddy carl we got her done today. now lets get some ice on Oneida Lake.

s10xr · « **Reply #43 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 09:38 PM »

ohhhh ic. well im glad it can be a topic of conversation lol.

anyways im going to pass on the insulation this year and i bought a mr heater 10 to 18 thousand btu and carry a 20lb tank with me. should be good. hope the condensation isnt to bad on the metal cap.

Bout-Time · « **Reply #44 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 09:42 PM »

Your windows will fog up fast, probably more than the roof.

Carry a couple cotton rags for wiping like I do.

s10xr · « **Reply #45 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 09:53 PM »

im planning on it. also im probably going to be opening the side window a crack most of the time im in there with the heater on to get some ventilation and keep myself from sweating out of it lol.

Bout-Time · « **Reply #46 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 10:00 PM »

Did you get the Mr Heater/cooker?

s10xr · « **Reply #47 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 10:13 PM »

no tractor supply had a sale on just the mr heater one you mount on top of the propane tank for 30.00 so i bought it. i was planning on using by buddy heater with a 5lb tank but now im going to use my new heater on a 20lb tank in the big shanty and i can use it in my garage to warm it up in there also. my buddy heater will probably just be used in my clam pro and my killzone cube. Im wishing I didnt order the 5lb tank and adapter hose and filter for it now. but will see maybe I will just use my buddy heater in it like planned. i got room for either or so if we get ice around here soon i can figure that one out.

Bout-Time · « **Reply #48 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 10:43 PM »

I use the Mr Heater/cooker in my 4x8, and it pushes the temp to 90 in there in 5 minutes. The walls are insulated, but the floor and tin roof isnt.

Love it for heating coffee water.

vtshantyman · « **Reply #49 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 10:44 PM »

just one thing i would sujest is make shur that your roof is clear of any snow or ice or you will have indoor water lol but for real it will drip like a shower

Bout-Time · « **Reply #50 on:** Dec 26, 2011, 10:47 PM »

My roof doesnt drip much at all, but its got a 3" pitch.

s10xr · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 02, 2012, 08:59 PM »

got the hole covers in today now all i gots to do is put the window in the back of it and get some ice to get it on. if i keep getting all this time i might insulate it but i have found out that my mr heater heats if up fine and great.

Bout-Time · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 02, 2012, 09:10 PM »

Your heat will stick around longer if you insulate S10, and thats always a good thing. LOL

Where is Bernhards Bay located?

copperjohn · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 02, 2012, 09:23 PM »

Tape up a roll of Reflectix on the ceiling and you won't get rained on. Really a neat build you got there. Thought about doin one with a glass top from an s-10 I used to have, but decided it was too heavy. Catchin fish and good times with stuff you make DIY adds alot to the experience. Good Job.
