How I Refill 1lb Propane Tanks
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
Another topic that has been covered by many folks on UA-cam, but this is my setup and process for refilling 1lb propane tanks commonly used for lanterns, camp stoves, etc. I built a custom apparatus that simplifies the process compared to the common 1piece brass adapters found at many retailers. Note: there are Federal regulations pertaining to the transport of these tanks if refilled. Also, th...
FIELD TEST - Diesel Heater In-a-Box
Переглядів 30 тис.2 роки тому
I tested my diesel heater in-a-box this past weekend while ice fishing on Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming for 3 days. Camped on ice that was 9 inches thick and the heater ran great. Very pleased with the results. Ran the heater without recirculating air and temps were pretty cold outside overnight. Next trip I will test with recirculating air to see how much less fuel and power it will use t...
UPDATE: Frabill Predator Sleeper Shanty
Переглядів 24 тис.2 роки тому
This is an update to the Frabil Predator ice shanty that I modified a while ago. I have made some additional mods to use as a "sleeper" shanty or base camp for multi-day ice fishing trips. Still want to add some kind of shelf above the table to store items, but overall...this is a really comfortable way to camp on the ice and maximize fishing time! Enjoy....and hope this inspires you...

A Better 12-volt Diesel Heater In A Box?
Переглядів 34 тис.2 роки тому
So, here's my take on building a portable 12-volt diesel heater in a box. I know there are plenty of other similar videos out there, but I incorporated a number of good ideas from some of them to build mine. I built this one primarily to heat my Frabil Predator ice fishing pop-over that I have been modifying to use as a sleeper shanty. Check out the initial build on my channel and watch for an ...

    If you hooked up a pipe to the intake on the heater and put that in the tent it would be a lot more efficient and you could run it on a lower setting.

      Nope, still going strong. Just use a hitch tightener and it's rock solid. Heard some folks having issues with theirs but that's because they used a regular cargo carrier...I used the one made for carrying electric wheelchairs/scooters. It has a heavier duty metal plate underneath the rack

  • @wt9653

    Looks nice. I've noticed you didn't provide any ventilation for the box. How hot does it get inside with lid closed? You could take the intake filter and put it on directly onto bottom of the heater intake. Just provide some ventilation. Hcalory came out with pre installed heater in a case. Some what flimsey. I think I'll use Ridgid tool case for mine.

    • @hardh2ofishin857
      @hardh2ofishin857 5 місяців тому

      Yeah, I had planned to redo the combustion air intake to be inside the box with just a vent installed on the side of the box....but to be honest it has been running perfectly so it is low on the priority list. I would like to eleominate the need to plug that intake filter on when setting up. The heat inside is actually minimal...like just above body heat range.

  • @PainterD54

    I think a metal box would work better (plastic can be brittle and melts dealing with higher temps) I would go that route if used outside for ice fishing or camping.

    Awesome video. I am planning on doing the exact same thing in a Ridgid Pro 2.0 medium tool box. The part that has me stumped is the different rigid fuel line kits out there. The most recommended kit I have seen seems to have 2 different sizes of tubing, one 4mm OD and one 5mm OD. I am not sure why you would need 2 different sizes when the ID is the same. This would also require different sized connecting rubber tubes. What kit or list of parts did you use? Also, what fuel filter? Thanks.

    • @hardh2ofishin857

      Didn't have to get a separate kit..I made sure the heater that I purchased came with the rigid fuel line already. Fuel filter came with it as well.

    Good job smarty pants! I think it might work better if you turn the sled around so that you drive onto the curve slanted side first. Works good the way you have it but might be smoother without the sled hobbling around the way it does driving onto the the back side or the 90° edge.

    • @hardh2ofishin857
      @hardh2ofishin857 Рік тому

      Yeah, tried that first. But then the Snowdog doesn't sit in the sled right. The way the track is on the snowdog, it "ramps up " at the front to climb and stay on top of the snow and that matches the sled design. Because my snowdog is the full track (not the compact one) it just barely fits the way I have it configured now I to the sled. When I do as you suggested, it doesn't fit into the sled.

    My opinion is that warm air should always be pushed from the bottom of the room, and according to the laws of physics, it will then go up. Less fuel would be used for heating and the temperature would be more evenly and comfortably distributed.
