I think the heater vendor is broil king, instruction sheet talks about removing centre vents to hang bbq grill, just remember to put a drip tray under the ribs.

I actually like being able to point it at, and warm up the steering wheel.....makes it a bit easier on the hands when it's down around -10 or more. Before you know it you don't need the gloves anymore....

yep...the defrost could be a lot better. Which makes me ask........has anybody tried one of those aftermarket scoops that mount outside in place of the vent at the bottom of the windshield?? They say it's supposed to help the defroster work better.....Anybody?
