>Negative 40 wind chill is pretty out of the range of normal Maine cold

Not really. Spent many a winter morning outside waiting for the school bus. And then ran the town streets after school for practice. Lemme tell ya about the time coach sent us out to do Ohio Hills when the temp was sub-zero and the wind was blowing...

Guess we found the transplant that priced out a nice local family. You offended, bud? Judging by your profile I bet you have some extra insulation and it's not in your house, but you might want to work on your sense of humor if you want to thrive not just survive.

Use the heater spaced like the old radiators. I have ceramics, baseboard style and the oil-radiators. All are easy to operate but the radiators are more efficient. A brand new one will give off a bit of an odor for the first hour or two. If you have a larger room, the industrial looking heater that has a fan works better at distributing the heat.

Do not use household extension cords with space heaters.

Also, avoid placing heaters on carpet.
