sparky88 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Last weekend I was using my portable while it was snowing. I packed it up with snow on. Should I set it up to dry & thaw out or is it ok since it is cold out? I plan on using it again this weekend. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathogen Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Based on the forecast, I guess I'd set it up. If the snow packed with it melts, it will refreeze and that can't be good for it. If it was just for a couple of days and the temps were going to stay cold, you'd probably be ok as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesehead Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 the best spot for drying your portable is in your dining room. All the hot air coming out when our wives see it will dry them in no time flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishin789 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I was out last year in that freezing rain and had to pack mine up covered in ice. I just set it up in my garage and put the heater on high and let it dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I do the heat in the garage also. I just turn on my sunflower heater for a couple hours and it dries out. I know for sure the living room or dining room is out as if I did that, I would also be out from to much heat in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishin789 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If you have an unfinished basement you can also set it up down there. I've done that too. It dries much faster in a warm basement with the Mr Heater on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
