I put a HouseWarmer brand from Menards in my last shack. More than happy with it and read they are manufactured by Empire.

You're gonna pay a chunk for any vented heater....... but it is really hard to spend the money people try saving from getting a ventless heater when yer dead.......

Does anyone remember the Handi Heater…(round,vented) Strikemaster name was on there so i don't know if they sold or made them.

Yep, I have one in my fish house. They were made by a guy out in WI for strikemaster. Wish a person could still find them or that style of heater.

I also have one and so does about 30 fish houses in my town. The fish houses where all built about 10 years ago so they were a HOT item but now you don't see them.(out of business) but they do take up a lot of room in a fish house but i love mine. I got a 20,000 BTU in a 6.5x8…….Yep it keeps it toasty!!

Jerkbait what size do you have?

I had a 15,000 but I found a 20,000 on c-list a couple of years ago brand new in the box for $45. I had got ahold of the guy that built them back in 2004, I wanted to put the thermostat control on my 15k. So he sent me out the control. When I got the 20k I switched the control over to that one. I like these heaters. I usually have a can of water sitting on top getting heated. Mine is in an 8x16 house and does a fine job.

I am having an idea of building a small (maybe on skids) spear/fish house.

Our local lake opened up to spearing this year. SO i would like to try it.

I would like to build a wood burner stove. Anyone have any ideas on how big of stove to weld up or how thick of steel to build it out of?

Any wood burners out there still?

So your saying they can sell such a thing as a ProCom Vent-Free Propane Ice House Heater that would kill you?? I realize some people could kill themselves playing with a box of tooth picks but I was considering one of these for my house. Anyone have any real experience with these?

Ventless heaters are by far cheaper , but I would never trust

one in a shack I was gonna sleep in . Not to mention the added

moister you end up with in the entire shack . I had bought one

a few years ago & put it in a deerstand & I was constantly wipeing

The water & frost off the windows ! Needless to say I threw it in the

junk pile . Should have put the vented in right to begin with !

Now no issues . Vented is the only way to go in a fishouse it helps dry

everything also , like after you drill holes and such .

Go vented & you'll feel safer & you'll definitely be happier !
