Pretty sure you're not supposed to turn it on in the open air...

"Risk of destroying element" is what I remember from the instructions that came with one I had.

Its going to be TWO degrees here tomorrow morning, and I am not worried...its not plugged in, I know a good 10-12 second glow and 5-6 cranks and it will be running fine.

It just started after a 10 second glow and 4 cranks here tonight about half an hour ago, and it was only 11F.

Our new 300D seems to be more of a complainer about the temps...I'm going to run it tomorrow to see how it does....if it starts that is.
