One of the few things left on the build list for fitting, is a diesel heater. Meantime, handy wee solution is this little thing. It's a fan designed for wood burner stoves. Generates electricity to power the fan motor from the conducted heat alone. No batteries. Place it on the hob and from 50C, its surprisingly powerful and effective at circulating the warm air convected from the hot plate. Virtually silent too.

May even try a GSM switch to turn the hob on before I get in the van in the morning.

If you point it out the side door or window (if you have either), then it becomes an extractor fan for when the bacons sizzling in the pan. :thumbsup:
