Do a google search of this group.
Honeck did what you are asking last winter in Wisconsin.

OK, so you fly your 4-cylinder Lycoming to a small airport in cold
weather, and if your plane is like mine (Archer O-360), starting in
frigid weather without preheat or an hour in a warm hangar is nearly
impossible. I haven't ever flown to an airport where there was not an
FBO with a hangar or preheat to bail me out, but now I need to.

Question: Is it enough to wrap the blanket around the cowl and plug in
the Tanis even though the plane is sitting outside with the cold wind?
How often do airports offer this?
