Heater for Portable

[Sandmannd]

I have a two man portable. Last year I used a propane tank with a heater on the top to keep warm. I've heard this is no good for Corbin Monoxide poisoning. What type of heater would be good to use in a portable and also what are some good lights to wire up to it?

I do the same thing and have had no problems. I do keep the vents on my voyager open all the time. Also I don't always bank it in so I know I'm getting plenty of fresh air.

in a portable, you shouldn't have to worry about CO poisoning, unless you are pretty air tight. Most portables breath plenty of fresh air underneath, at the seams, etc. throw in a little wind and you will have too much fresh air.

I use a big buddie heater and it has a low oxygen shut off on it

i myself never worry about it. if i do sit in one all day i tend to get a headache, but if that happens i just step outside or flip it over for a few minutes of fresh air. you really have to be careful with the new shacks like the pullbehinds because they are built so well. but most of them have vented heaters. you can never be too safe, but i have never worried about it happening in my portable.

Thanks guys, that's kinda what I was thinkin' but wasn't real sure. Any idea on 12 volt lighting you can put in these?

big and little buddy heaters are the ticket....you feel good after fishing instead of feeling like you were smelling propane all day......the buddy heaters are worth ever penny...

No matter what you use to heat your house always keep a source of oxygen open. I always keep a small opening in my lower door ziper and the top vent part open.

Surf the web for SuperBrightLEDs. They have premounted banks of various types for you to connect your leads to.

i use a little buddy heater in a clam 6800.I set the tank outside and run the line to the heater.It works great and takes up very little room.

I find that if I move as often as I should, the shack never gets low on oxygen. Night fishing is probably a different story.
