Thermacell?

Mine was running with a brand new pad in it right beside me on Saturday morning when I shot a doe at 10 yards. She had smelled something & was curious, but I wasn't sure if it was the Thermacell or the fact that she'd cut across my scent trail a couple of times. I could smell it, so she probably could when she was close.

I used the "no scent" bug spray this weekend and had 3 deer walk right past my tree and ended up shooting a little 6 pointer so for bugs i would reccomend the no scent bug spray. I did spray just normal scent killer over it though.

Just bought my Thermocell last night, should I start it up like on my deck before hand so there won't be any smoke issues using it in my ground blind!

What do you do when you turn it off after a short time?

Put the pad in a container or just leave it in the grill portion and not worry about it?

No need to start it up before hand. Fire it up when you get to the blind. Just leave the pad in it for next time. They do take a few minutes to heat up and become effective. Often I'll start mine before walking to the treestand. There is some noise pushing the igniter and on a quiet night, I don't want to be doing that where I'm hunting.

Maybe run it for a half hour when its new to burn the new off of it. Then light it 5 minutes before you get into your blind. Thats what I'm going to do.

You can turn it off anywhere as it is not noisey. Keep the pad in the unit. I would guess that it seems that the unit smokes way less after it has burned a bit from new.

Seems that when I place a new pad in the boat when I'm fishing, it does smoke for a short bit but not that long.

I'm going to use mine in a ground blind this weekend and will report back if I remember to.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
