I bought one from Matt in Ohio, here's his site. I was a little leary of spending the money on one but after having it now and using the thing I would pay twice the amount for one. It's the simplest and most effective way to keep your bottles warm. Just last night we dropped the bottles in set the temp. setting at 95 and went walking through the pits and grabbed a bite to eat. Never once thought about it, or hesitated about leaving it running. Came back about 1/2 hr later and the bottles were right at 1100 psi where we had them set to be at. Give Matt a call, upstanding guy and can ship in a day or so. Here's his site.

I just bought a bottle bath from a guy on Racing Junk, I am sure there are dozens out there that are better, but this one works great for us. Set it and forget it. Holds 2 bottles. Heats the water from first pour in, in 15 mins to 95 degrees. Bottle pressure was great. No probloms at all. Great product.

I use the Nitrousaurus-X from Carnivore Performance.http://www.gotsqueeze.com

It heats and cools and is thermostatically controlled. What I like about it vs a hot box or water bath is that you can mount it in the car and use it as the bottle mount. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle losing or gaining pressure while waiting in the staging lanes.

I use a homemade water heater. I put a hot water heater heating element in a cooler. It works great just doesnt have a thermastat you have to pull the bottles out when there at the pressure you want. I only have like 10 bucks in it so I like it compared to the 3 or 4 hundred you can spend on the other ones.

I was just going to use a bottle blanket heater with a pressure switch to turn it on and off.

Not sure if the blanket style heater will get it hot enough? Have not installed it yet.

The blanket is good to KEEP it warm, but is hell on batterys to GET it warm. I stopped using the blanket all together, it killed my battery in the stage lanes once or twice. I love the bottle bath!

Nothing is better in the staging lanes than the Nitrousaurus-X in my opinion. I've left mine running for almost 2 hours in the staging lanes while waiting out an oil down clean up and the car started right up without any troubles at all and the bottle stayed right at my set temperature.
