Um, I have 2 powerbars full, cords going in 2 different directions...my hydro bill doubled last month, but I was also running a qt in the kitchen, with no outlets left, so had one piece of equip plugged in on top of my stove....I know there's gotta be a better way, just not sure what it is....

You could always add a small ceramic space heater in the Brett to bring the temp in the room up.
