Back east and north east, some people use strip heaters for their cars. Keeps the engine warm enough to not freeze and dislodge the freeze plugs and pop the radiator :confused:
In the fridged west, we use block heaters to do the same thing.

Those are great, looks like your leaves are all down.

The rads and such here have an anti-freeze agent, the block heaters help to keep the batteries from freezing (like I had happen last winter with my truck), and keep the engine oil warm enough that it flows more smoothly when the engine starts.

But this winter is not going to be a bad winter so I won’t need to use the block heater this winter. I put my order in for a mild winter with no snow.

Hmmmm 🤔 maybe someone should invent one that is rechargeable? :confused:
I know you can get rechargeable heating pads, it would be easy to use one of those and put the waterer in a small box with a towel to keep it warm. Drape the heating pad over top of the waterer and use a towel to insulate the water.

It’s a heating element that is submersible in the horses water tank. Once it gets cold enough below freezing all day and night I start using this.

I soon will plug in the chooks waterer.
