vented propane wall furnace


Guest

Question

Looking for vented wall furnace for fish house. Have posted in "wanted" forum but might start looking for new ones too. What are some places that sell them and what brands are out there other than Empire? Looking for something in the 15k btu range.

Any features to make note of when purchasing?

As we speak I am looking at a Northern Tool and Equipment catalog that I just received here at work, and they have some that run from 10,000 BTU's to 28,000 BTU's the price range is from $100 to $200 Both radiant and blue-flame models. I know they have a show room in Burnsville, and I think there is one in Maple Grove but I am not sure of that location. Go to northerntool dot com

I bought one for my fish house at Fleet farm last year; they had 15,000 and 20,000 btu models. These are vented through the wall. They may not have them until closer to the heating season. I believe the brand name was Orbis.

Danny Berg,

No problem, I was also looking into ventless models but being that I plan on making this house a sleeper house and my kids will be sleeping in it, I will stick with a vented model.

I've checked fleet farm, menards, home depot, and northern tools but nobody has wall furnaces in stock - YET. Some said any day now. Anyone know of any in stock as of today?

Thanks again.

I am going to my Fishhouse this weekend to get some things out of it.I will look at who mfd'd my heater. Maybe they have a wall model available, I think it was built in Little Falls, or somewhere in that area. Let you know what I find out.

my only recommendation would be to get the biggest heater you can for your house. a direct vent heater puts out a lot less heat than the same btu ventless heater, i think because its drawing cold outside air rather than the inside air. i wish i had bought a bigger one for my house, but i still like it better than my old ventless

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
