Yup.  Works great.  I found a steel 1500W one at Wal Mart last fall pretty
cheap that includes a 600W mode and a thermostat.  Because of electric
code regulations these heaters are all limited to 1500 watts, so just pick
one that has features you like.  I wanted one with a metal case so I could
throw it under the seat without it getting broken.

You'll have a hard time buying one this time of year, though.  At least
where I live, when it gets to be about February everyone gets rid of their
stock of electric heaters and stocks up on fans and A/C units instead.
