Hey guys and gals,
I just purchased a Little Buddy Heater for my portable (I have to stop buying and start fishing or I may be living in my portable) My question is;how close can you place the back of the heater to the wall of the hut. I checked the user guide and FAQ's but see no such info. Only asking because my hut is so small I want the heater back as far as I can go safely. Thanks in advance for any and all responses provided.
Cheers
Craig

Thanks all, for the feedback.
I don't want to put a hole in my hut. Then I would have to go buy a bigger one. The new hut would be bigger so I would not want to walk it out so then I would have to buy an atv to pull the sled. Since atv's don't work well in deep snow, I would have to buy a ski doo. If I buy the atv and ski doo I would have to buy a new truck to transport them and probably a trail too. Once i have the truck and trailer I would have to buy a boat for the soft water. Once I buy all those items I would then need to pay child support when the wife kicks me out.
Please "GOD" Don't let me burn a hole in my hut!

Man, nsfisher, I can't stop laughing. thanks for starting of my day off with a good laugh. maybe you might be better off to burn a hole in your potable and let her burn to the ground and then you can have a stress free life. That is just too funny.
