Harold, I appreciate your reminding us of the fire risk posed by these heaters.
I was not exaggerating, though. Guys have actually simply laid the portable electric heaters on the floor, and grilled steaks for lunch, on the wire screens.
Unless one has lived in 'blue collar country,' one simply cannot appreciate how accurate Jeff Foxworthy is in his descriptions. I am certain that someone DID roast a pig over the Olympic flame at the Atlanta Olympics. You CAN buy deep-fried ice cream. During hunting season deer chile is a staple at lunch, and they've deep-fried fish on-site for lunch.
