Cool item. I'll have to try to remember that. Any planned uses for it?

I've got a little brown 'Welbilt' Ceramic heater.


I don't like to use it these days, because it has no thermostat.
Just a fan speed control and the off-on switch..
I know I could buy a new one for $33, but I like the little steel box and steel grill
and would hate to toss it out..

Plus, I've been looking at those 120vac under-the-rug heaters, just in case my oil-filled space heater experiment doesn't work out..

This also seems like a neat little gizmo to use with a fan during the spring and late summer.
In New England, at this time of the year, it can be warm in the late evening
and turn very cool after midnight.
So, if the fan went off by itself, when it got down under 68F, that would be nice.

And, I just like cool gadgets..

I'm a South Texan, living in New England..
There isn't much of a winter in South Texas, I only saw snow once in my life (1/2") before coming to Boston.

Around here, you can't even find your electric meter during the winter..

This photo was taken, BEFORE the snow got really deep!!
