Mr heater vs Dyna glow

[BiggA]

I am buying one soon for hunting and icefishing. The dyan glow seems to be priced less and both units have the same features as far as I can tell. Anyone have experience or opinions on these heaters? Specifically the BuddyPortable and Dyanglow tag-a-long.

I used a Big Buddy in my 6800 Clam last year and it worked great. Not sure what the coldest temps were but probably not below zero. I also just noticed that Cabela's is selling reconditioned Big Buddys for I think $90 bucks. Ad in yesterdays paper.

 I have a buddy heater that i use in my Clam 3 person and it keeps it plenty warm.

Buddy heaters are warm and the big buddy has a fan in it so it helps a lot. But if you are using it outside good luck. They don't stay lit if you have a breeze.

That's good information to know Sandmannd.  Thanks!

Definaley good info. I need something indoor safe and not too spendy that is why i thought about the buddy. I found the dyna glow at sportsmansguide it appears to be the same type but cheaper in price. I wouldnt need it outside to much.

Indoor, I would go with the buddy or big buddy. I believe (may be wrong on it) that the buddy's have a CO2 detector in them and shut down. Even with that though I would have a CO2 detector where ever you are using it inside.

If you do use a heater outside I love my heater cooker.
