Jay - where did you buy your on/off cube? I remember you mentioning it
once, but I could never find one. I've checked both Farm and Fleet, and
Fleet Farm.

Seems to make more sense than a portable preheater. Also, I've
read that the flame-thrower type (expecially the propane bottle ones)
don't put enough heat in the right places to help prevent cylinder
scuffing. Leaving a multi-point heater plugged in for a few hours is

the
best, and the generator has many more uses elsewhere.


Of course, the rub is turning the danged thing on 3 hours in advance.

Didn't
someone rig up a "cell-phone-on/off-trigger" for their pre-heater last

year?

I remember thinking it was way cool, for those who don't have a hangar

with
electricity. (If you have a hangar, the best trigger, IMHO, is the
temperature-sensitive cubes. They go "On" at 35 degrees, "Off" at 40
degrees...)
