Portable heater accessories designed and built in Pine City, Minnesota for Buddy Heater, Heat Hog, and Clam heater setups. This collection covers hangers and stands that get the heater up off the floor, fan kits that move the heat, and cooker plates and food accessories that put the heat you're already burning to work. Every product is backed by a 30 day try it policy and a 2 year warranty, with free U.S. shipping on orders over $100.
A heater sitting on the ice shack floor is in the way of every boot, bucket, and tip-up. These accessories give it a better spot and a second job.
What's in this collection?
Hangers and stands. The Herc Buddy Heater Hanger Accessory and Heat Hog Hanger Accessory get the heater off the floor and out of the traffic in an ice shack, garage, or camp. The Buddy Heater High Rise Heater Stand does the same job free-standing.
Fan kits. The Herc Buddy Heater Fan Kit and Herc Heat Hog Fan Kit improve airflow so the heat moves through the space instead of pooling in front of the heater.
Cooking and food. Cooker plates for Buddy Heater, Heat Hog, and Clam heaters turn the heat you're already running into a cooking surface. The Hot Diggity Dog (also in a Heat Hog version), the Herc Portable Heater Warmer Plate, and the Herc Portable Heater Toaster handle lunch on the ice without hauling a separate stove.
Which heaters do Herc accessories fit?
Shop by heater model to see what fits your setup: Buddy Heater, Heat Hog, and Clam Heater. Each product page lists the specific heater models it's built for, and our FAQ and install videos show real setups before you buy.
Do Herc accessories change how I run my heater?
No, and they're not meant to. Your heater manufacturer's manual sets the rules for clearances, ventilation, fuel, and safe operation, and every Herc accessory is used within them, never instead of them. Position a hung or stand-mounted heater with the same clearances the manufacturer requires on the floor, keep the required ventilation, and stay with any heater that's cooking food.

Hardly anyone else makes this gear at all, and nobody else builds it here. The 30 day try it policy plus 2 year warranty exist so testing that claim costs you nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Why get a portable heater off the floor?
Floor space is the scarcest thing in an ice shack, and a floor-level heater is in the path of every boot, bucket, and dog tail. A hanger or stand puts the heater up out of the traffic while freeing the floor for gear. Keep the manufacturer's required clearances wherever the heater sits.
Will Herc accessories fit my Buddy Heater, Heat Hog, or Clam heater?
Herc builds model-specific versions for each heater line, so shop by your heater model and check the fitment list on the product page before ordering. If you're not sure which version you need, contact us and we'll tell you straight.
Can I really cook on a portable heater?
With an accessory built for it, yes. The cooker plates, warmer plate, toaster, and Hot Diggity Dog are designed to use the heat the heater already puts out. Follow your heater manufacturer's operating instructions, and never leave a heater cooking food unattended.
Are Herc heater accessories made in the USA?
Yes. Every Herc product is designed and built in Pine City, Minnesota by Product Fabricators, the fabrication shop behind the brand.
What if it doesn't work with my heater?
Run it for 30 days in your shack, your garage, or your camp. If it doesn't install clean and hold up, send it back under the try it policy. Everything also carries a 2 year warranty.
