Thanks for the good wishes.

Unfortunately we don't have Wal-Marts of Home Depots here. We have some similar stores but those don't carry anything rated for 110V.

I'm no electrical engineer either, but if I hook two 220V heaters in series and apply 96V, they both run at half voltage if resistances are equal (48V per element, even lower amount of heat). Connecting them paraller gives both 96V, but it is still way under what I want.

I noticed I could open an account for some online service and get a "valid" US street address. I could order anything to that address and they would send all the stuff to me. But that costs even more than if x-mart would ship directly to me.
