At my last house I had an outside outlet wired to an inside switch.  I would 
plug it in the night before, but only switch the outlet on after I made coffee 
the nect morning.  To answer your question, I don't know what the amp draw of 
the block heaters is or the permitted load on the timers.  Probably easy 
enough to check.  I wouldn't opt for the "plug it in all night" option.  BTDT.  
Made the electric bill skyrocket.
