Rob Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I am always looking for a lighter less bulkier way to ice fish, and this would fit that category. I don't want to sacrifice comfort though. I have the little buddy heater right now and I find it a bit big. This one has about 7000 BTUs and the little buddy will max at 9000 BTUs, so they are pretty close to temperature. Thanks, Rob C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzy31 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 i don't have that one, but it looks good! last year i was in the same predicament, so i got a 10,000 btu single burner for the top of a 1 lb tank. heats my 2 man IceCube hut in a matter of minutes on high, and keeps it that way on the lowest setting for hours! and i always keep the door cracked 12" or so to let out the fumes. one tank lasted me 3-5 trips on simcoe, usually 3-5 hours a trip. $40 at CTC Jesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 my cousin has one, it seems to be equivalent to my $80 coleman catalytic, maybe not as clean burning though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I picked up a used one of these Coleman Black Cat for $25.00 or so and it works great in my clam 2000 hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've been quite comfy the last 2 years using a 3000 BTU in a 1 and a 2 man hut. With this one you'd probably be fishing in short sleeves. I might pick one up to try. At this $ that's a good deal. First thing would be to build a better base though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
