[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 76143, member: 429"] Heater aside, IMO you need to decide what size propane tank you plan on using. 1 pounders are convienent but more expensive, 20 pounders are the most cost efficient regarding tank cost and bulk fill. I have a 5lb tank as a happy medium. For a heater, you need to decide how many btu's you need to heat it. The temps that you fish in are going to have the most dramatic effect on needed BTU's. You can always crack a door or window to let out excess heat.......you can't do the opposite. I run a frabill adventurer 2 man uninsulated flip, with a 5 lb propane tank in a 5 gallon bucket with an 8' hose to my big buddy heater. I run it on med medium for the most part. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] For space efficiency, I leave the 5 lb tank in the 5 gallon bucket with a hole drilled through the side for the line to run out of, and I place a snap on seat cover over the top. So I use the bucket my seat. [/QUOTE]
