Pre-takeoff checklist
I am fishing for ideas to keep the plane interior warm. We use Tanis heaters and cowling covers fastidiously, but my wife and daugher don't seem to care about top cylinder wear as much as how cold soaked the damn plane is when we get back from the party and its dark and windy.
I flew with a guy who had mounted (TSO approved I am sure) a little ceramic heater in the baggage compartment that he kept plugged in while it was parked and that seemed pretty clever. Should I be squemish about leaving a freestanding ceramic heater going the whole time I am gone/overnight?
Draping one of those old fashioned electric blankets over the back seat?
One of those catalytic/propane heaters? I am assuming I have access to 120VAC but these are supposed to be safe for inside your car? This internet link would suggest otherwise:

Any suggestions from the board, things that folks are doing that work down to 0-20F.
Thanks!
