B>Thank
you for the feedback. While it is not as much discussion as I had =
hoped it, I
believe, had the desired result. While Ruth Phillips mentions below =
that the
25Watt Rod was discontinued as a system staple I have to disagree. The =
part
number G6PS (top item on page 22 of the Jansen catalogue includes both =
a 2'
and a 4' 25 watt rod. I also disagree with others that posted (Don I =
think it
was) who said that the two rods producing very different amounts of =
heat would
not necessarily produce an imbalance. I paraphrased to clarify my =
point but I
can't see how it could be anything but. Don's argument was that I did =
not take
into account convection currents. It would seem to me that if one was =
too hot
to hold and the other could be held all day being only luke warm then =
any
convection currents would be more in the category of WIND to not =
produce an
imbalance. I can agree with others who have posted that they never =
noticed any
problems. Neither have I. Even though the two bars produce an entirely =
different amount of heat they are not necessarily doing damage. It =
seems that
it could certainly be said, however, that they are not doing the best =
job
possible. Any further thoughts?<BR><BR>Greg<BR><BR><BR>At 06:25 PM =
