A dipstick heater just doesn't have enough surface area to transfer an appreciable amount of heat into the oil.They also tend to "char" the oil around the dipstick.
With a small engine parked in a shed out of the wind.And the dipstick heater installed when the engine is still hot after use. They maybe marginal.
The link above lists immersion oil heaters as well as coolant and battery heaters.
A warm battery is just as important as a pre-warmed engine. A warm battery charges faster/better too.
Glad to see somebody asking about engine pre-heating instead of inquiring about ether.
