Thanks for the advice in the tech topics forum folks. 
<br /><br />How's this for hot? in the second pic, the heater is off, extinguished, out, but it's still glowing and you can see the heat 'mirage' still eminating from it. I think I might have started some kinda mini nuclear reaction there for a while, the heat element was almost white. <br /><br />For those that helped me, the original heater is toast, there are parts missing from the chimney and it is doomed to be a smoke signal generator. Sears parts direct says the only part available for that chimney is a 1/4-20 nut that holds it together (gee thanks, 1/4-20 is so damn hard to come by!!!). All 12 other parts are discontinued and unavailable. <br /><br />But this one cleaned up real nice and it's pretty damn hot too. <br /><br /><br />
