Shanty Heaters
« on: Jan 18, 2009, 05:21 AM »
What are people using for shanty heaters? I have a big buddy, but it throws so much humidity that the windows frost up. I found Nu-Way heaters and they look good and vented. Venting should get the humidity out. Anyone with experience with them? http://www.nuwaystove.com/

Buddy heaters work great, but you must vent them, by cracking a window, and opening a vent in the
top of your shelter.  Then the windows stay relatively clear.

I have the Nu-Way wood stove in my shanty and love it. Been using it for 4 years. The small fire place logs you buy at the store fit just right and last approx 2 hours before I start adding wood. My shanty is small 4'X8' and I've had it up to 110 degrees in there before but normally runs about 80 to 90. Great to cook on too.....

My shanty is 4x8 also, but I was leaning towards the gas Nu-Way version. That way I can set it and forget it so to speak. Either lugging wood or a gas tank, you've got to haul something... I wonder if the gas model gets hot enough to cook on though???

I used my Big Buddy yesterday for the first time icefishing and it went though those pound tanks like crazy. Of course it was 11 below when we started to fish and had warmed up to 4 below when we left at 4:30. I may bring my sunflower and a 20# tank for Moosehead.

I have a small nuway stove for my 4x6 portable,  and I built a bigger version of it for my 8x9 permenant shack.  Its 18x18x26 and heats the perm shack great.  Couple big logs will keep it going for about 4hrs and the temp in the 80's  or higher depending on how much I stoke it.  I've also built quit a few small wood burners out of old 20lb proprane tanks, just make sure that all the propane is out and I fill them with water then cut out the holes with a cut off wheel.

Just about ready to give up on my buddy heater, right now it lies in pieces in my garage.If I can't get it to work maybe I'll give it to someone that might be handy with that kind of stuff?
