Get one of those Big Buddy heaters from Bass Pro. You won't have no hand problems anymore. Cracker has one over on the Tenn. board and he turned it on when we went fishing last week. I believe it puts out 15,000BTU's. Not bad and has room for 2 propane bottles and you can even get the adapter so that it runs on one of the big tanks like you grill with. I ain't from the North but it gets mighty nippy down here as well. :D
