My family's plan for watching $sportsball together outside this winter is having everyone in their own small ice fishing tents with personal electric heaters. There's going to be a lot of extension cords running out of the garage.

I assume you are aware that each heater will need to be on its own circuit? A garage typically only has 2 or so, so you'll need to run extension cords to various rooms in the house.

Also you'll need 14 gauge extension cords, many regular ones are only 16 or 18 gauge.

So, we tried it this last sunday and we did trip the breakers. The garage only had 1 circuit for the outlets (the other powered ceiling lights and the garage door.

New plan for next time: electrically heated blankets!
