I am "off grid" in Tennessee and it gets cold in the mountains! I want
to be able to step out of the shower and stand in front of a "heating
device" while I towel off and dress. Five minutes maximum usage.
Local area only. 110VAC device.
The question:
Would some sort of quartz lamp type of heater be the most efficient?

Any source of radiant heat such as a quartz heater will likely do the job.

I think a small oil filled heater would work better. It would work like
rocks around a camp fire..assorbing escaping heat to help provide more
warmth.
While quartz lamp would not do that.

Simple myths for simpletons.

What utter nonsense.
Trying to get warm by heating the air is not very effective.
