Perkins cold start

[one_dusty_hoot]

Mike,
Charcoal must be the modern way. First time I saw something
like this was a fellow stoking a hot fire of sticks under
a Cat dozer, though he had gone over the edge.

Few years ago I picked up a magnetic heater, sticks right
to the bottom of an oil pan, plug it into 120 extension
cord, worked great, I think I drove off and lost it.

I bought it in Washington State, was in my luggage to fly to
South Carolina. I just knew when the X-ray machine hit that
with plug, wiring, steel, the bomb squad would be called,
I don't believe my luggage was ever opened. Assurance???
