how long can you heat?

Just another question on block heaters. How long can you leave it plugged up? Here in southern NH we seem to regularly hit the minus digits and warm to low to mid teens. It depends on how sloppy the weather is as to which ride we use. The little putt-putt or the big black truck. It would be nice to keep the block warm just in case.

At least until you run out of extension cord. I often make it out of the drive way myself before I have to unplug it, oops there gose another plug.
