Overview
A practical three-minute field test of using a heat lamp as a block-heater substitute on a cold-weather start in single-digit temperatures. Mike clamps the lamp near the engine block for two hours, then shows the actual cold start result. No specs or product links, just a simple low-cost tip demonstrated in real conditions. Most useful for owners without a block heater facing their first hard winter.
