Bottini Fuel Discusses the Best Portable Heaters for Ice Fishing

Now that Old Man Winter has frozen everything over, including the lakes and rivers, we can now do some ice fishing. The only problem is, it is still cold enough to get you good and cold. Lucky for you, Bottini Fuel carries a complete line of portable propane heaters for just such an occasion. If you have never been ice fishing, it is something that you simply must add to your bucket list. There is little that is exhilarating as walking on ice that is a foot thick. Even though it is very thick, you can see through it very clearly. It is almost like walking on one of those glass bridges. When you finally get to the cabin, you are going to want to warm up a bit. For that, we have a portable heater. Since you will not be able to have electricity at the ice fishing cabin, you are going to need to use a propane heater. Below you will find our picks for the best that you can get for this ice fishing season. The Best While these portable heaters are all great for ice fishing, we would like to remind you that if you have any outdoor activity that you need to keep warm, these will be perfect for that job as well. So, without further ado, we present to you the best portable heaters that you can take with you on your ice fishing trip. Mr. Heater Big Buddy – This is one of the most efficient and largest portable heaters on the market. It shells out 18,000 BTUs and can definitely keep you warm in your ice fishing cabin. You can use either one-pound bottles or the 20-pound tanks for extended stays. However, the bigger bottle will make it less travel-friendly. It can easily heat up ice fishing cabins up to 400 square feet but weighing in at 17 pounds it may be a bit heavy to take with you depending on the rest of your equipment. Mr. Heater Portable Buddy – It has the same basic design as the Big Buddy, but in a smaller and lighter form. It can only heat up to 225 square feet, but if you have a smaller cabin, this shouldn’t be an issue. It comes with a selector switch to offer both 4,500 and 9,000 BTUs. So, if it is not too cold out, or you get too hot, you can simply turn it down a little bit. Dyna-Glow Heat Around 360- This is the smallest footprint unit we carry. That does not mean that it puts out the least amount of heat. This one is capable of putting out 10,000 BTUs and is enough to keep a cabin up to 250 square feet reasonably warm. Conclusion Bottini Fuel hopes that providing you with these models will give you something to think about when you are in the market for your next portable heating needs. They could all be a great back-up plan if you should happen to run out of propane during a large winter storm.
