There is no "auxilary heater", whater that means--forgetaboutit. In all editions of the device we have had available to view, rendered naked, Mr. Rossi has a band heater to heat the water within the water jacket. Does everyone know what a band heater is? If not, go Google.
Mr. Rossi has also incorporated a cartridge heater penatrating into the "reaction chamber". This is the primary heating element, and does not deserve the designation "auxilary".
