The Amish heater is a sales gimmick as others have stated.

The Amish themselves are a bit more complicated. They have sects within sects. Some use rubber tires, others stick with iron. Some wear suspenders, others belts. It goes on and on.

Some 'Amish' aren't even Amish but Mennonites, who also have sects within sects. I know Mennonites who will happily ride in *your* car to the job site, where they will just as happily use *your* electricity, on *your* property, to run *your* tools, while they themselves cannot have a car, nor can they have anything electrical on their own property.
