Might ask your neighborhood FBO to use one of their portable heaters
next time around :-)

I have read in several different mags that those portable heaters only warm
the cylinders and not the bottom end (cam shaft) where the heated oil is most
important during the short time most FBOs run the units. Consequently it is
somewhat a waste of time and energy to use that type of heater.



I use both.

I plug in the pan, while at the same time using a forced air unit.
