---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment --=====================_91447140==.ALT John, I looked at this somewhat differently than you describe below. I=20 am not looking at 25 watts as 25 BTU's but rather just how much energy is=20 being used by the rod. Since the short one and the long one use the same=20 amount of electricity but are in fact different in size they it seems to=20 follow that they would produce a different amount of heat. This is where my= =20 idea of an imbalance comes in. Is my thinking correct here?
