What kind of Hair Dryer for DC Defrost/Heat..



It is getting cold up in CT and my wife wants heat.. When I got the blazer 
it was missing everything under the hood for the ac/heater including the 
blower motor and vents. I found the vacuum for the switches also leaks 
horribly and much of the under dash pieces are broken and or missing. So 
fixing what is going to take a lot of time if I use the proper parts.
I recall reading of people using Hair Dryers and was wondering what kind you 
could use?
Is there anything special to look for like one with no added features?
I already have the switch and relay wired to proper rated equipment so I 
don't have to worry about the AC rated switch on the hair dryer. Also I 
currently have 144vdc and will have 156vdc soon. Is it possible to run two 
dryers in series so it's safer or lasts longer, or does it matter?
If anyone has any alternate suggestions that would work better/safer please 
let me know.
