Default Re: Block Heater for Texas Summer?

Alright its in, Just in time for summer.

My quick test data:

It was about 90 ºF (32 ºC) outside when I plugged in the EBH and left it in for 60 minutes. The water temp (via SGII) gradually went up from 107 ºF (42 ºC) to 135 ºF (57 ºC). So about half a degree per minute.

Anyone have any other test data I can compare mine to?
