When I plug mine in at night the grids don't even come on in the morning. It was 12* with a 2* wind chill this morning and mine started with no problems. Never got heat but it did start.

Same with poor old Greenie, she whined and moaned, but she lit off.

I really need a good place to plug her in at work.

Last time I started mine in below zero weather without plugging in it reduced the visibility down to ten feet in a five acre area.

That's the strange thing about mine, she lays a cloud for a few seconds when she is chuggling at first start, say for 3-5 seconds, but once all the cylinders start hitting, it really isn't a cloud more so than even say a gasser puts out.

Defiantly nothing like my old 6.2 in the old Chebby used to do.
