Default Mr. Heater

Just got a model MH540T tank top heater for Christmas. It is rated for 30,000-45,000 BTU. Will this be too big (hot) for my ice fishing tent? I have a Fish Inn that is about 7 foot square.

You could fish in your bathing suit and get a tan at the same time. Hopefully you can adjust the settings.

In a 3 man tent you only need around 9000 btu. 30000 is too much for any ice fishing tent.

Will eat a lot of propane but you don't have to have it on High or have it running all the time, put on low on open some vents or a door, will work fine when it's -20 and a breeze blowing.

I have a little buddy rated for 3800 BTU, even on -30 days, can't keep it running in my fatfish 949. Would sweat to death.
