Plug in wall thermostat

Anyone here know of a portable wall plug thermostat. I'd like to plug in my big buddy heater into one, since buddy doesn't have a thermostat. The wall plug thermostat would act as kill switch for what ever portable heating devise is used.

I googled Line Voltage Thermostats, some time ago and found many.

I wound up ordering a Honeywell "Wall mount" model which a mounted on the back fo an "electric Fireplace" to control the heat and a plug in model for a heater where the Electronic T-Stat got ffied by a power surge...

Both work well.. I really like the plug in job as it's on a cord (dongle style) and it is not affected by the heat so the temp control is fairly precise,, most built in T-Stats you need to adjust for cloder weather because they are affected by the heat element so if you set it so it just comes on at 72.. The next thing you know the room is 62 because it's reading itself.... The "Remote" T-stats don't do that.
