| Well after finding out that my Coleman Blackcat | | | | The heater fit's nicely inside my storage box, |
| heater won't stand up to the cold inside my | | | | which protects it from the elements of snow and |
| portable ice shack, I had to invest in something | | | | ice from the quad pulling the sleigh. This heater |
| that would heat my ice shelter up. So now I | | | | has a range from 10,000 BTUs to 13,000 BTUs. |
| bought a "sunflower" radiant heater that screws | | | | After lighting it up, I turned it up to the max. I |
| onto a propane tank. Now I'm glad I did because | | | | would say after zipping the door shut, in about 15 |
| this heater works great! | | | | minutes you could take your jacket off and just |
| Over the years me and my friends have used | | | | sit in your ski-doo pants. It made the ice shelter |
| the sunflower heater in ice shacks and it always | | | | very toasty inside and after awhile I had to turn it |
| worked good. Depending on the BTUs you get, | | | | down to low because it was getting to hot inside. |
| they pump out a lot of heat. I don't know why I | | | | Even when the sun set, it got a little more colder |
| didn't buy one right off the bat but sometimes I | | | | out but this heater keep us warm! |
| like to try new things and The Coleman Blackcat | | | | So all in all, this heater worked perfectly! It kept |
| was something new to try I guess. I'll keep it in | | | | us warm all afternoon and into the evening. The |
| my camping box for the camper and tents but | | | | only dislike I have is the back of the heater gets |
| that's about all it will be used for. | | | | hot to the touch so you have to be careful when |
| So I bought a Century sunflower radiant heater | | | | you handle it, so not to burn yourself or in my |
| that screws on top of a propane tank. I also | | | | case, the side of the portable ice shelter. Also you |
| bought a small 10lb propane bottle so I don't have | | | | should shut it down early enough to cool it off, |
| to lug around a 20lb tank in my sleigh. So after | | | | before you pack it up. By the time I take down |
| setting up my ice shelter, me and my wife | | | | the ice shelter and load my sleigh, it's cold enough |
| decided to try this heater out. It was around -15 | | | | to put away in the storage box! |
| C outside so it didn't take long to get a chill going. | | | | |
