I've used the Tanis preheater on our Rotaxes in Colorado, where it can get very cold (though today we're enjoying sunshine and temps in the mid 60s). The Tanis is great if you can keep your airplane plugged in for a few hours prior to flight. We would keep ours plugged in overnight, and the next morning the entire engine compartment would be nice an warm, even if it was 0 degrees outside.
