I have used one in my 1 man flipover for years. It's plenty bright enough and it gives off plenty of heat too. Except for the really windy days it is all I use for heat. I usually set it on the ice right below my seat so the heat rises right between my legs and hit's my hands and that way it's not out by the hole where it may hit my line or the tent and I can fish 2 holes with the vex with no obstructions.

I just bought one Saturday. My wife thought i was crazy when i took it to the basement to try it out. I have a one man flipover and it works real well. Nice light and heat. the one i have is the  Coleman PerfectFlow One-Mantle Propane Lantern. It's the one with the small glass globe 273 lumins.

I have a single mantle lantern,it will do the job,one thing I found was the slip on style mantles give the most light,the tie on ones will work to but the slip on mantles are much brighter

Wall-Mart sells them, they are great and Brite, I use it for Backpacking while hunting out west, hard to break them with a metal frame around it, throws enough light and some heat. 
thats a good fish, they are all good, some are gooder than others

I have one. Bigcrew is right about the mantels. Plenty of light. Wal-mart is the cheapest around here to buy one.
