Portable heaters, Are they safe?

Tim, I just felt like you were directing at me and not merely just the topic at hand...stating something as basic chemistry as incorrect to compare to something as the propertys of hemoglobin bonding. That's two different things. How can you refute basic combustion? Danger #1 consume O2 give off CO2. Danger#2 lack of O2 gives off CO. Danger #3 CO bonds to hemoglobin over 200 times more than O2. It's not CO, but the propertys of hemoglogin bonding to favor CO over O2.

Anyway, if my old science teacher says so, then I believe him...a catylic converter helps to aid in the breakdown of dangerous gas...I get it pretty much implying that CO will become CO2 in the air. How else is it gonna happen? I don't know, but maybe it does otherwise CO will remain in the air and eventually we'll all die from CO poisioning because there's not enough precious metals or whatever you refer to radicals to change it. I don't know if photosynthesis utilized CO but I heard they breakdown CO2.

I wanna concentrate on ice fishing, not agruing the symmantecs of correctness. Yep, maybe a brewski will change to mood. I might be on Clear lake this weekend. see ya around.

Good luck on Clear. I am excited to be heading up to Upper Red this weekend, otherwise I'd bring the brew to share.

If you see a black one man flip-over with DNR #'s spraypainted on in yellow - towed by an old snowmobile out there, that is me. Come on over and let's talk some fishing. And maybe some chemistry - I'm weird and I like that stuff.

SM1, Sportsmans Warehouse in Woodbury has about 10 Re-manufactured Tuff Buddies (heavy duty) and normal Buddies for $80...I think it was

.

They also have a good deal on the normal Buddy heaters.

They seem to range about $30 in price depending where you look. That's like 2 cases of beer

Funny thing is I have not seen a Tuff Buddy anywhere else...even on the MR. Heater site.

Good Luck,

Ferny

FYI - I got a Tough Buddy from Lowes last year, for really cheap on clearance. I can't really tell the diff between it and a normal one, except it is yellow not red. Works the same. They usually go on sale about end of January, if I recall. Heard about the sale here on FM, was great deal at about $40 I think. They had Big Buddys for like $70 or some rediculous price - I should have picked one of those up as well... ha! oh well.
