Electric Heaters

no not the baseboard type

the portable on wheels models....

this is a public service message for all S-B ers
contemplating the purchase of one ...rather than cranking
the thermostat all the time sending our
money over seas...for heating oil

we bought the cheapo models at wally world ($40.00)
and they basically suck...where you have to invert them and get all the oil to drain to the top
then you put it back on and bang it/shake it to death
to get the litte bastage to start perculatin and throwing some heat... they leave you swearing...

a better model made by kenwood with a remote keypad and programmable thermostat timer can be purchased at the home depot for 59 bucks and it's a much better unit...

best thing about them is... no fire hazard! and you can warm/ dry a wet sweatshirt on them real easy
before heading out into the flurries.
