Default Re: Jig for pre-warming 'shed shoes'

I have found that elements from many of those rice cookers and bread makers that get used only a few times and then get neglected are great foot rest warmers when run from 20 to 30 volts. I have used a rice cooker element in this way for a couple of years from a hefty 24 volt wall wart. Perhaps a power supply from a dead ink jet printer would work.
The rice cooker element is 80 ohms.
They would also work for a heated boot box.
