Insulated vs. Non insulated Hub

[Mistermojo]

I am thinking about swapping my fatfish949 out for a 949i - is there that much difference in internal warmth betweeen a non-insulated and insulated? I have the 4000-9000 btu buddy heater.

Is it worth the extra $50 and extra weight or is my money better spent elsewhere?

I know it makes a big difference in the Clams.

We have a non-insulated frabill flip over and bought a frabill insulated hub this year and I think it really makes a difference on the really cold days, especially the cold and windy days. On a windy cold day that heater is goin' nonstop keeping the non-insulated warm. With the insulated hub I have never had the heater above low and usually turn it off after it gets warm even with the vents open and a window cracked.

Go insulated. Warmer and a lot less noisy on breezy days.

Warmer and less noisy. I run my Mr Heater Cooker on low most of the time and I could fish in a t-shirt. I only use mine with my truck, so I don't care about weight.

My thought would be I would think you would save a ton of money on propane over the Life of the shack by having the heater on low instead of high on a insulated house

Go insulated. Warmer and a lot less noisy on breezy days.

No doubt about it!

If it isonly $50.00 it is a no brainer!!

Decided to swap out to the insulated. Thanks all for the advice!
