Currently i have the typical 20lb propane bottle with a 15,000 BTU heater. It worked well last year but i'm rather tired of the weight in the sled and the condensed room in the clam.
I'd like to see the recommendations for heaters if you've got any......

Portable Buddy Heater and A 5lb tank, works great in my Cammando. I also have the roof lined with reflectix so I don't get wet with condensation.

I have the Mr. heater buddy and it really works well, light weight and with the good wide base it doesn't tip over like the coleman.

I use the model on the top most days but when it is Real Cold even to cold to fish I prefer the model below. Keeps my hut plenty warm....LoL

Iv'e used the buddy heaters, Mr heaters but I personly like using my coleman camp stove packs easily and allows me to make coffee or cook up some Quinte gold right on the spot

$49.99

Buddy heater...

2x1lb tanks last a long time... And are light to carry... And I refill my own tanks so it's cheap too..

Made the mistake of running my Mr Heater 10lb tank and 12 foot hose without an inline filter. Caused me some grief and a downed Mr Heater. If your planning on going to a larger tank and hose be sure to buy an inline filter. I ordered one from Home Hardware, but I'm sure you can purchase one wherever they sell the Mr. Heater.

This is good advice and is correct, however
if you spend the extra $$ , you can buy the Mr Heater extension hose that does not require a filter. I bought one last year (it was hard to find) and believe it was $40-50

fellas fellas fellas, you can buy propane tanks now that weigh hardly nothing compared to the old ones. they are made out of fiberglass and are so much less weight, screw having to worry if you will run out of propane or having to carry multiple lil cylinders. those lil guys get pricey . this is what I have
