Someone on another forum posted about using a shut-off timer like these. One is programmable to shut off when you want it to, the other goes for 1 hour. I'd never seen these before and thought I'd pass the word along. My iron shuts off after about 15 minutes, which is way too soon for my slow piecing work, so as soon as it dies, I'm going to get one of these for the replacemnt.

Re: Auto shut-off for irons, etc.
I have a Black and Decker that has been doing a great job for 15 years. I was afraid it was not heating properly about three years ago and bought a Rowena. The Rowena is still in the box because the Black and Decker is still doing a great job and shutting off everytime I leave it on.

I just might get one of those when I make my next iron purchase.
