Fireplace for ice shanty?

[Vollmer]

Is this a thing now? Like, a trend?
Seems like a lot of extra effort to me.

I mean I know propane went up a little but

Must be part of the Green culture, probably get a govt kickback for using it.

I will stick to propane, as I have too much shit to drag along as it is. I would think the stove would take a long time to cool off ,but maybe not? I suppose one could always use the ashes for traction upon leaving some steep icy accesses?

I've thought about adding one to my eskimo 9416i for use as a late season elk hunting shack.

what we use when we go to northern Canada to shed hunt. Did use propane but in woods for a week, then have all the fuel we need. Works better than propane. Nice and warm. db

Not the ticket when ya got enough crap to drag around. PITA if you set up and they are not there that day, and have to move.

we used to do logs in a perm shelter - it was a pain in the ass - heat up and down and if you didnt set the damper correct you had wind blowing the smoke into the house. I dont know about the modern ones.

I see it as a romantic notion that would only be desirable in an explicit situation, permanent 150 yards from your home. Sort of like grumpy old men.

30 to 35 yrs ago just about every fish house used wood for heat. Just about everyone had a wood stove and when You walked in it was a nice smell and dry heat.

In a permanent maybe, portable wow for extra work

 

[LBrandt]

Wood is a dry heat where propane is wet heat. Wood in a portable just a lot more work, my 2 $ LB

P.I.T.A. !!

I have two tents with a stove jack and rarely use wood for either of them. There are now options for propane that keep the tent dry and vents. https://nuwaystove.com/ Very compact and light I may add. There are also tents that a Mr. Buddy will burn dry in.

as said, acceptable in permanents or "semi" permanents. not so much so in any kind of "portable".

Well in our tent up north, dry wood all around, no propane tank to haul or take a half day to go to town to refill, in that world, wood stove works just fine. db

Dad always had a wood stove in the permanent fish house, we ate many a good meal off them and heated a lot of water to pour down the holes. I thought it was fun.

I grew up fishing in a permanent that had a wood stove but used a Big Bertha propane torch jury-rigged into the back wall of the stove. It could get really hot in that house!!!

I was thinking of getting one of those last year. Bought a giant clam tent from a guy that was going to use it on an elk hunt and never did. It has the opening for the chimney in one panel, i think that 4000 model would work great in it.

I think it would work great in a drying tent for the wet clothes one gets when hunting in the snow. For fishing....IDK. Permanent shack like for spearing.....maybe.
