squealing cooker/heater

Why does my cooker warm up with a light dull humm, then on medium and high it squeals for quite awhile. I just got it used, does it need a good cleaning? I haven't left it on long enough to see how long it squeals.

Hi Pooh,,,I am guessing you have the Mr. Heater/Cooker. I have one in my deerstand when I hunt (OMG! what a difference smile ) but I have the same problem as you, and it sure doesn't bring in the deer...lol.

I don;t know the names of the parts so you'll have to go with me here, but when you start to hear it hum and it starts getting louder, put a finger over one of the air intake (?) holes for a second. Watch out so your clothing isn't next to the burner and catch fire.

If you do that a couple of times, it should warm up and you won't have the problem after that. Hope it helps!

I was wondering if anyone uses their heater/cooker in their portable fish shelters, or is a buddy heater a safer option?

both of mine (lost the first) have done it since day one. I should add that I only keep mine on the low setting, due to the confined space I am in... It might be the same at any setting,,, i think once it warms up to temp its fine.. sometimes its just getting it there thats a pain..

No expert here, but I hope it helps.

Here is an interesting take on this. I can't explain this either. My Mr. Heater/Cooker does not squeel when it is up right to use for heat. But when I turn it face up to boil water to cook with it, it squeels past the point of using. But if I take the pot off or move it, the squeel will lessen or go away.

Any ideas/explanations or suggestions for this post or the above posts?

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
