I thought that was interesting as an alternative to a block or oil pan heater of some sort when in a pinch.

I'm pretty sure we were drinking beer when I told you about this...
It's actually an old bush pilot radial engine trick. The engines are air cooled, and they drain the oil while it's warm into a steel pail when they land and keep it warm in the cabin by the fire overnight. Dump it back in warm in the morning so the engine will start.
If I was leaving a big truck outside for an extended period of days in the winter, I would, wait one year while I didn't have a shop, I did this. When it was time to fire up I ran the webasto to heat the coolant, dumped warm oil in, and she fired like nothing!
