I'll definately check out the timers. I might find one on ebay for cheap. Thanks for the help
Referring to your circuit breaker....just to give you an idea in relation, a hair dryer is typically 1875 watts which is around 15.6 amps. You must have your block heater plugged into a circuit with a 10amp breaker
