The heater cover of claim 1 wherein said connecting portion includes channel adjacent an upper edge of said frame, said channel being shaped to receive the outer wall of a heater therein. 10. The heater cover of claim 9 wherein said connecting portion includes a set of threaded holes shaped to receive a screw therethrough such that said screws can be threaded through said holes and into said channel to engage an outer wall of a heater when said outer wall is received in said channel. 11. The heater cover of claim 1 further comprising a mounting bracket coupled to said frame, said bracket being shaped fit about an outer wall of a heater when said frame is mounted to said heater, said bracket including a threaded hole shaped to receive a screw therethrough such that said screw can urge said frame against said outer wall. 12. The heater cover of claim 1 wherein said connecting portion is a lip located at an upper edge of said frame. 13. The heater of claim 1 wherein said insulating material includes a generally planar outer surface and said insulating material includes a recessed area located adjacent to an upper outer edge of said insulating material to enable gases to escape when a vessel is located on said heater. 14. The heater of claim 1 further comprising a pair of relatively rigid impact bars embedded in said insulating material, said impact bars being located to protect said insulating material from said vessel. 15. The heater cover of claim 1 wherein said connecting portion includes a portion of said heater cover located above a portion of said heater. 16.
