Now that cold weather is up on us I need to come up with a way to preheat my 912 on Mark3 Classic Instead of reinventing the wheel I figured I would ask the list and see how other people are doing it.

I've never preheated a 912 but did so on a Continental 4 banger. I
got one of those small catylitic heaters that screw on to a propane
bottle. Hunters and ice fisherman use them up here in the cold north.
Then I got some 6 inch diameter expanding aluminum ducting. I could
position it so it ran up under the cowling and up next to the oil sump.
I'd then place the propane bottle on the ground, light the burner and
put the ducting over the burner. Worked quite well.

Use one of those stick-on engine heater pads on your oil tank.
After a few seconds warm oil is running all through your engine. I found
them at Bomgaars, Tractor Supply, but I would bet auto parts stores would
have them too.
