Have a couple of them and use them all the time in my ground blinds. Very quiet, almost no noise. Love'em.

Quiet yes,.. haven't used one in a ground blind, but I use mine in my ice fishing tent.

I always used a Coleman camp stove (propane) in mine, can turn it down to no sound at all and they still give off lots of heat. Plus you can make coffee if you want. LOL.

Yes always, have had deer 10 feet from the blind. It's a constant hum not a bunch of banging. Nice and cozy.

I use them with the 1 pound tanks, they are a must in the bitter cold and also good for toasting a sandwich.

Are those Mr. heaters safe to use in an enclosed trailer? We are going hunting Sunday and plan on staying inside the enclosed trailer as we will not have time to set up the wall tent on the first night.

Not if you don't have proper venting I would think. You might be sleeping in.

I wouldn't use them in any area that doesn't have good ventilation. It must produce carbon monoxide. At least in a popup blind you can have a couple of windows open.

My Mr. Heater will shut down if there's not enough oxygen. At least it says it will.
