Heater for a permanent shack?

[CorynTracySellHomes]

Looing for suggestions for a heater in a permanent ice shack. The shack is a 8x12 and I would like to find a heater that has a thermostat or some type of control to turn up or down the heat. Currently the heater has one temperature setting hotter than heck!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, also if I could get an estimation for dollar amount.

A friend of mine uses a wall heater. Runs on propane and has a low oxygen safety device I believe he said. I'll find out more for you as to cost and all.

We put a Glo-Warm ventless propane 5/10K BTU heater with thermostat in our 8x12. It has a variable setting, pilot light, ignitor and its been working great! We usually have it on the lowest setting, and its on pilot-only alot (still wish it was colder outside). I paid $119 before shipping and tax, over the internet. Sorry, don't think I have the site anymore.

Also put in a CO detector. We've had 3 overnites there, and everyone's awakened ok (except for Schnapps hangovers). We also insulated the floor this summer, which helped alot.

Mills Fleet sells same brand, same price on sale, but theirs is a garage unit, 10-30K BTU, which is too big. Would overheat on lowest setting.

Propane

Then go to page 2 towards the bottom either the vent free radiant or the blue flame.

Or go to Northern Tool and Equipment that way you can get everything you need in one shot and get a little one on one help for what fittings you're gonna need. Let me know how it goes.

We have a glo-warm in our 6x12
the thermostat is great!
We got ours at Fleet farm.
They have 3 or 4 different sizes so you can pick out the right size

Sorry, I can't find the site. I remember it was in South Carolina and the women had cute accents, and ice fishing on top of the lake blew their minds. Also, it might have been a wholesaler I stumbled onto, as it took several calls to get it shipped, though they were extremely friendly.

Anyway, the others are right. Mills Fleet or NorthernTool should have something that will work. But when I looked in the Fall, Mills units were Too Big, or no thermostats. Also, NorthernTools $140 unit said 3 heat settings, which made no sense to me. Should be variable between a low and a high (5/10k btu).

The Chemist is right. Heater probably will come without a regulator or hoses. We used one from an old gas grill. So it might help to buy from a knowledgable place that can set you up with everything needed.

Good luck and stay warm.

If you go to www.icefishingheaters.com you will find the heater that I use. It has all the features that you want, takes very little room (can be installed in a corner), and will heat a large shanty with no problem. I have looked at the radiant wall heaters and this one may be cheaper and easier to install. My shanty is 7x12 and I can fish in a tshirt. My 2 cents.

Sorry, should have been www.icefishingheater.com

empier makes a wall mount heater that pulls fresh air from the outside and has a thermostat to control the heat. i leave my on from the time it hits the lake to the day i take it off. also have a set back thermostat to warm the house up before i get there after work.

Just a litle note. Fleet Farm has them on sale this week.

A wall mount heater is the way to go.I have had both a blue flame and a infra-red type,the latter is better.With a blue flame heater there is usually more temp settings than an infrared but you do not get an even heat. Blue flame heaters just heat the air,so it's 100 degrees at the ceiling but your holes keep freezing up.With an infrared heater it heats the surrounding objects so you get a more even heat.

Just a suggestion

Northern Hydraulics has an Outlet store in Hudson WI - not open every day of the week.

They have tons of glow heaters there for 2/3 the price in main stores.

I heat my 8x12 permanent - works great.

With thermostat for about $70

Call first for days they are open. They also have some Humphrey lights there.
