I'm wondering the same thing....is it worth the $200 more than a regular 8" auger?

I love my gas auger but would probabley buy a propane
for a few hundred more. Just for the cleanliness and ease
of storage . They get kinda of finicky after a few years and
from storing them dry etc. From what I have read on the web.....
its the way to go !!!

and besides.... Hank Hill cant be all wrong !!

GO Propane and Propane accessories !!!

From the manual:

8. Important – If the engine does not start due to extremely cold temperature, replace propane tank with one that has been stored in a warm environment or temporarily move ice drill to a warmer location.

From Q&A:

Jiffy designed a high pressure fuel delivery system exclusively for cold weather applications. The factory testing facility tests all drills down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Looks like some borderline rating, I did fish at -29C last year...

You wont find many, if any reviews here.

Gotta check the stateside forums...ie ice shany, IDO fishing, and the Minnesota forums. Lots of good info there...
