Metal coffee can with the lid. Take a roll of toilet paper and remove the cardboard tube, place into the can and then pour a bottle of Isopropyl or denatured alcohol and let the TP soak it all up then replace the lid. Once in the blind light it for practically odorless heat. Just make sure you have some ventilation and keep away from the blind material. I have used this many times in natural blinds and in tents to reduce that early morning chill. Very cheap and works really well with a little common sense.

I have a Mr Heater.  I use it in the garage and when I take kids out I have it for the blind.  Definetly a nice unit.  I have the "big buddy"

Cant beat a Buddy heater model. Just be sure to bring a way to light it in with you. The piezo igniter is loud on the dead calm mornings.

How is the odor from a Mr. Heater.   I used a similar Coleman heater 20 years ago and thought I was going to vommit from the fumes.  

I use my pop up blind more for ice fishing this time of year and could really use a heater some days.

Zero fumes. It is made to be ran in doors without ventilation. I've never fallen asleep and not woke up  :)

I use it in my hub style fishing shack to.
