Following; I'm curious too, I was going to post this very topic this morning. I've got things around the house and a camper, cars, etc. Curious what others think....my wife wants me to rent one but hell for $50-$100 more I can buy an electric one and have it.

The wire is for the electrical connection for the heater, another gem the was left there for me by the prev owner. The smaller wire is for the thermostat, wired to a different workbench perpendicular to this one a few feet away. I will look at that connection when I get back, I never shaped it...
