Gas engines not too many years ago had a heated grill in the intake path to promote fast warm up, as they polluted more when cold. If was an iffy setup usually.

Silly as it sounds, rigging a small hair dryer in the intake tract would acomplish more than just a glow plug.

I agree though, weather in the teens shouldnt be a starting problem at all. Replace glow plugs.
