Cold Starts

Most of the time, I've been able to arrange either to leave it plugged in, or
more often have the fBO move it and plug it a few hours before I intend to
depart. I keep an extension cord in the plane all winter. You never know when
a short stop might turn into a longer one than intended, and the weight of the
extension cord is not all that much.

So, for those of you with plug in heaters, how does that work out? I presume
that at your home airport, you are parked in your own unheated hangar or
near an outlet on the ramp. What about visiting other airports? Do you asked
to be parked near an outlet? Do they stretch a cord across the ramp for you?
Do they plug it into a service truck for a couple of hours before start?
