MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
6-8 bucks a pop around here.
I switched to alcohol heat several years back... no regrets. It doesn't bother my eyes the way propane or white gas do. Both of those make my eyes feel itchy/fuzzy after a while.
Refilled my crate today. Haven’t seen prices on 1# tanks lately. I know last season they were $5.99-$10 for a new. 1#. What’s 1# tanks priced at in your area?just a tip but to keep the green bomb threads in shape, I put a touch of Remington gun oil on the threads and a thread cap on them. Keeps the threads from rusting.
Never use oil / grease or any other petroleum product on a regulator or line that feeds one. It's an explosion hazard. If ya want to clean threads / cut the handle off of a pipe cleaning brush & put it in you drill at low speed & use teflon tape if ya want to preserve/ seal the joint.
So how do you heat with alcohol
Thanks ZCM
Just be careful, I know that I read last year of several that went up in flames and burned down the shanty. I bought a 5lb tank after I saw that.
Holy cow I'm glad I got my 6 refillable at $14 $42 seems outragous.
Just a few articles on why NOT to use refillable 1 lb containers...I'll save my life and pay $5.99 each.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=1+lb+refilled+propane+tank+explodes+while+ice+fishing&docid=608012909736517948&mid=3191AFD1A8F20E7D3FCE3191AFD1A8F20E7D3FCE&view=detail&FORM=VIREThoughts and prayers to this man and his family.

They are still making 5lb tanks. They hold plenty of fuel for a day, much more compact in size and easier to transport than juggling 5 separate tanks. And from the sounds of it, the 5lb tank investment appears to be much safer.
