   > energy consumption meter?   
      
   Look into the Kill-A-Watt or the PZEM-061 wattmeter.   
      
   If you want to record data automatically a pair of PC-connected multimeters   
   like the TP4000ZC can transmit current and temperature readings to a file in   
   a computer. ...   
   ---------------------------------   
   As BP indicated, it makes more sense to look at the heat loss rate which is   
   proportional to temperature (and complicated by convection). Unless it can   
   be insulated or enclosed I think the best answer is to heat it just before   
   you use it.
