Propane heater

[J_ROW]

Anyone ever use one of these while fishing in cold weather for crappie. If so are they any good for this and what brand would be a good one. I know a lot of people use them in deer blinds but was wondering if they are good in boats also. Getting too old to take this 20 -30 degree mornings while fishing.

I use a Mr Buddy propane heater in my ice shanty. It takes a 1lb. tank of propane. it works fine in a enclosed area. They also make larger ones that require 2 tanks. Whatever heat source you go with, make sure it's protected from the wind. Some of these heaters will not stay lit with a breeze blowing. I usually get 2 trips out of a single tank.

I have not personally used one but got a couple friends that have recommended the Mr. Buddy heaters! They really like em....one friend keeps his down low in his boat to warm hands and feet when needed!

In a 4x6 shanty they will get it really warm if you keep the doors closed. You even have to keep the beer outside to keep it from getting warm. Not that I drink But I heard that somewhere.

I use one of the older Coleman catalytic heaters (3500-5000btu) that use lantern fluid. put it inside a metal 5 gallon can and swiss cheese the lid with a large drill bit. We leave a couple pairs of jersey gloves on the lid and switch them out when our hands get cold, It's like taking your gloves right out of a warm clothes dryer. Also works great for hot roast beef sandwitches on the single digit days. ( ALWAYS get the heater going before you put it in the boat )

I use this for a hand warmer. It works great and the wind doesnt blow it out. (BTW, I have a Mr. Buddy Heater I'll sell for $60 + shipping.)

I have used a MrBuddy heater and they work great.........if there is no wind. Doesn't take much of a breeze to turn them off. Usually I take it if one of my kids goes fishing with me. They stay close to it and block any wind.

x1.....I have this same heater with a little bit different holder..Mine is called a Golf Cat and my holder is attached to the boat deck...I use the holder as a catch all during warmer months & put the heater in during colder months..

Wind does not affect this heater..I also have the Mr Buddy but did not like it on the boat...
