I have used my Mr. Heater single burner for ice fishing at Strawberry for 3 years now. The only problem I have had is if it is windy it blows out occasionally. I used to have to situate my chair so that my back was to the wind and have the heater under my chair between my legs. Not so anymore, now I have an ice shack!
Last year (12/29-30 2006) my cousin and I did an all nighter at the Berry ice fishing at the Ladders. It was by far the coldest weather I have EVER been it. -25 according to reports. It was so cold that when you went outside to take a whiz, it froze as it hit the ice. I'm not kidding. When we went to go home in the morning, my poor old Jeep would barely even crank it was so cold!
Anyway, we had my Mr. Heater in our ice shack. According to our thermometer, it was a toasty 65 degrees in there! And that was with the vents open. Without the Mr. Heater, we would have died. Well, no we wouldn't have...I wouldn't have gone.
Like others have said, beware of CO poisoning. Make sure you have ventilation.
Anyway, the Mr. Heater works great. Do not rely on the electronic piazzo ignition. Take matches.
