The golden Rod is designed to be plugged in all the time. Is a sealed
low wattage heater. Is not like leaving a space heater or light bulb
burning. As to plugged in all the time, do you unplug all the lamps in
your house as well as the radio everytime you leave?


I seem to remember heated dipstick replacements that would keep the oil in
your engine warm, thus transferring some of that heat to the engine block.
Is the Golden Rod similar to this?

From what I understand, very similar. Only lived for a year in snow country,
Dayton, OH for a year of school. Other than that I drive to the Sierra
Nevada Mt. for skiing and antifreeze in the truck works fine. I do boat
during the winter, sturgeon fishing.
