A long, thin propane or kerosene-fired heater used by contractors to cure plaster, spackling, or paint in the wintertime. The device is often left turned on overnight producing the illusion that there are flames in the building because of its glow. This results in a number of mistaken 9-1-1 calls for the fire department. Also known as a "torpedo heater" because it somewhat resembles a torpedo.

The caller said she saw flames in the building, but the fire department only found a salamander the contractors left on overnight.

To get so high that you feel like a salamander. When you close your eyes, all you can see is a clear image of a salamander. When you open your eyes, you realize that you are a salamander.

Dude I'm so salamander right now.
