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...)
