Good tip! I've got one that I use sometimes in the camper. Ceramic heater. Now if winter would just let go. 2* this am. Breaks record here from 1873 of 5* for this date.

I'll take a pic later. Mine I believe is 1500/750 with fan and tstat. Should cost less than running a 60 w bulb non-stop I'd think.

Huh... That's cool man. I thought a small heater would be too much for a small confined area like that but sounds like it works pretty good. :)
