Heater that flames on.
Ok. Somebody tell me about a heater that blasts hot air as soon as I turn the key. canadian winters can make warming up a half-hour afair, someone give me a hair-brained idea for warmth. I've already considered a kerosene ready heater bolted to the floor in the box with an A/C power inverter and the slider open.

Thanks, but these things only keep the coolant "slightly" warm for easier starting. I still have to wait and patience is not my strong suit. Thanks for the reply.

I'm surprised you are not getting heat right away using the preheater. With a good preheater and an electric fan (or at least a really good fan clutch) it should warm right up. A half hour sounds excessive under any condition if it's being driven. Even with sub-zero temps here, a vehicle warms up pretty quick if it's driven.
