Blind Heater
I have a Mr. Heater Buddy type of heater for my home. It makes a loud snapping noise when igniting the pilot; obviously no good when out in the field, White Tail hunting. Does anyone know of a portable propane heater that can be lit silently? Thanks.

I have a simple Coleman that requires a flame to ignite. I use a cheapo disposable cigarette lighter. My largest stand is a 4' x 5' that is about 6'6" inside. Plywood wall. Plywood floor. Tin roof. Three open "shooting" windows. About 7' off the ground. No insluation .... and it will run me out of there on "high", unless it is in the single digits. I have used it in my pop-up ground blind as well. Does great. Of course I am dressed insulated gear so temp does not need to be raised up to more than about 40F for me to be comfortable.

I have a buddy heater and the big buddy heater. I've lit them both with a lighter.
As long as it is set to pilot and there is propane coming out of the pilot it has lit. It sometimes takes quite a while for fuel to start coming out of the pilot.
That onboard striker is really really loud though, isn't it. lol
