Heater in a blind?

Come, you guys!  If ice fishermen in Minnesota (my former home) use heaters, there is nothing wrong with trad hunters doing the same. If the idea of trad heating is important, take along a small shepards folding stove and make a wood fire (of course, the wood smoke might scare the game     There is nothing wrong with seeking comfort; in fact, those who don't might be accused of being masochists.

The winters here in NE Texas don't seem as bad as they were 15 years or so ago, but I can remember when they would get pretty nasty. Anyways, my dad would always bring a metal coffee can that was just big enough to hold a roll of toilet paper. He'd then pour a bottle of rubbing alcohol in it, and light... Would keep the stand nice and toasty all day. I don't recall any smell, and there was just a slight blue flame. If you smell the TP burning, then it's time to refill the alcohol, but I don't recall needing to do that during the course of one day.
