For the past few days I've been smelling a chemical-type odor in my entryway, right outside my bedroom door. I couldn't find where it was coming from.
After I was finished with my outside chores, I came in and sat in my recliner to rest my back. I looked up at the doorway opposite and saw this:
This is the plug from my oil filled radiator-type electric heater. I've been using it the past couple weeks because the heat from the wood stove doesn't quite reach into my bedroom.
It looks like the plug got too hot and eventually caught fire. I don't think it involved the wiring in the house because the circuit didn't pop. This has been a very scary realization for me. This is the only radiator type electric heater I use, but I do worry about all the electrical stuff in my four tortoise sheds.
