I think upping the ambient temp in the room is an excellent, often overlooked idea. It takes so much time/tweaking to get things just right to heat a BP in a cold room (and what happens if your lowside flexx fails...your BP gets COLD), whereas all this guesswork can just be eliminated by heating the room to a warmer ambient temp.
