What are you guys using for CO2 monitors? Where is a good place to get them and what kind of dollars are they ?
I don't know about you guys but I am getting pumped for the hard water season!!

You probably mean CO monitor? CT had portable ones, I got one form them, but never saw anything but 0's on it fishing or at home, not even sure if it works

A fairly safe reliable heat source for overnight in the ice fishing tent is a big woman on each side of you under the blankets.

There is a small stove called the Yukon stove. It was US military issue M1950 but you can still buy them. You just need a smoke hole stitched into your ice tent. The stove pipes fit inside the stove for transport so its compact. There is an optional siphon attachment for this stove that has a drip tube valve. The valve is put into a military style jerry can of regular gasoline. The drip tube drips gasoline into a fire burner that fits into the hole on top of the stove. I used one for a few seasons and just burnt wood. It has to be stoked more often because it is small but generates heat quicker on start up, especially in the morning.

Just like the Inuit.

This is what I use in my ice shack. Mine is modern, but same design. Probably 33% larger. Works great. Can cook on it. Easy to light and keeps things toasty.

I converted a cargo trailer to an ice shack and have a hydroflame propane tent trailer furnace (thermostat controlled) stalled into it. It works reasonably well. I need to do some maintenance on it to stop the fan from squealing, but it keeps it warm. I've done 3-4 day trips in -40c and havent gone through a 20lb propane tank. But just in case, I've got 2 20lbs on the trailer.

Two 6v batteries give me plenty of power for whatever I need and the queen sized bed that folds down from the wall once the ATV is parked outside make it pretty comfortable.
