The fans in these things only worked for a short time before they crapped out anyway.

Mine has a fan? I don't use it. 2 double D's to operate

If I had a pair of double D's in the shack I wouldn't need a heater...  :whistle:

But I might need a fan!  ;)2

Esox,
Who doesn't like a pair of double Ds to stay warm?

Speaking of which... This one cracks me up...  "Did she just bounce?"


@ 1:35... "Stop it!"  :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Worked with a gal named Debra D***y. We always called her by her initials and yes, she was all of that and then some. Made some work ice fishing trips with us a couple times. Quite the snow bunny.  :o

We now return you to your regular programming...  ::)

I can't even come to an ice fishing site, my favorite site without someone getting political? well Since we went there, how's the economy, unemployment, stock market? but a missing 12 volt heater fan what a sacrifice...  SMH 

So we thank Trump?

It is the Buddy Heater company's fault, they elected not to buy U.S. made fans once the foreign fans were tarriff to high to import.

I don't think the fan is very useful. It does not move much air and the 4 D batteries add weight. I prefer a fan on the ceiling of the shanty facing down.
