Could you guys that have problems with the heater tell me what gauge and length of cord you are running? If you are running too long a cord the drop over the line would cook the heater in a matter of moments. I used to repair stuff at Sears and I saw electric leaf blowers that got cooked from people using 2 or 3 100ft 14 gauge extension cords.

I would say that 25ft maximum length, 12 minimum gauge, 10ft and 10 gauge would be better.

Hope this helps. -Funny-
