Default Does anyone run a bottle heater and blanket at the same time?

Just wondering. I have to do something right now w/ the cooler weather this year it take my bottle like 45mins to warm up and when I spray when the bottle is at 8lbs or so it takes forever to warm up again. Damn cool weather....

Is it safe to run a blanket and the heater at the same time?

What is the best blanket for a 15lb bottle at the lowest cost?

I do in my GTO....I got the NX kit, NX heater, and NX blanket...I lucked out and got the blanket on EBAY for $60 shipped NIB. It is a very nice/heavy/thick blanket. In my Camaro, I just use the heater, since the cars heater will reach to the back fairly well. In the separate trunk of the GTO, I decided to use both. Plus I drive the GTO year round and need the extra heat in the winter.
Perfectly safe to run both-

Watch out for the cheap ones on E-Bay. I checked around and the only 15lb blanket I could find of any quality/price was the NOS brand. Yes, I did check with site vendors first, if I remember only one vendor had a 15#'er at a higher price than I wanted to pay. It will help heat quicker and help keep the sun out in Summer.
