Hard to beat a bullet heater if in hanger and a little time.

Here's some older stuff on preheat, just found it using the search tool

Yeah, that's about all I found in the search as well, but I figured a lot may have changed since then.

Unfortunately I can't get a hangar nearby.

I'm likely going to try out the twin hornet heaters. Cheap, versatile, no installation, and thermostatic. If it also proves effective I'll plug it into a smart outlet so I can monitor and remote control it.
