The Red Special is an electric guitar owned by Queen guitarist Brian May and custom-built by May and his father. The Red Special is also sometimes named in reviews as the Fireplace or the Old Lady, both nicknames used by May when referring to the guitar. May has used it on Queen albums and in live performances since the late 1960s. The name Red Special came from the reddish-brown colour the guitar attained after being stained and painted with numerous layers of Rustin's plastic coating. The name Fireplace is a reference to the fact that the source of the wood used for the neck was a fireplace mantel.

I have an elderly mother who gets cold very easily in fall/winter. Anyone heard good things about Eden heater?

I've checked into consumer.org that listed the Amish one (which really the only thing Amish built is the mantle)--the heater is made in China. Surprise, surprise. I'm thinking with even the Eden which got a lot of good reviews from Paul Harvey, etc.--once it heats up a space, just like with a gas fireplace; it tends to shut down the heat in the rest of your house. So, wondering if a heater in her living room would be a waste of money, plus a space heater would be out of the question due to the danger it poses. Thanks!
Karen, & whoever else answers--the heater would be in the living room & the thermostat is in a connected living rm/dining rm on the dining room wall. I know our gas fireplace is in the living room & thermostat is on the wall adjacent from fireplace. It does shut the heat down once it reaches our 62 degrees(yah, we freeze to save), the fireplace will continue heating the small room up to past 80 degrees, but in our case it's been an investment well worth it--warmth & ambiance.

An electric heater is an elecric heater. You can only get so much heat out of so many watts, no matter how the heater looks. If the electric heater is in the room with the thermostat and that room gets warm, then the thermostat will figure the whole house is warm and will shut off the heat until the room cools down again, and that will happen whether you heat that room with electricity, gas, or a wood fire. If you put the thermostat higher, it will shut off at a higher temperature. I suppose by a space heater, you mean a portable electric heater with a glowing red element. There are other kinds of electric heaters, including oil-filled radiators which are probably as safe as electric portable heat can get. You might also consider getting Mom a down couch throw or something else like that if she gets cold mainly while sitting.
