I thought about that idea, actually. I was hoping that my Golden Rod would have a DC-style barrel connector that I could just remove and replace, but alas it appears to be hardwired - but I'll take another look just to make sure.

I consider myself competent with a soldering iron, but I don't remember the last time I soldered something that used AC power...

Mine came with a Radio-shack style clamp plug for the receptacle end. Even if yours didn't, Soldering and heat-shrink insulation would probably be fine, but there are aftermarket solutions that don't require it.

You were right - it had a clamp plug on the end. The plug on the back of the safe revealed a hole in the steel of the body but not the sheetrock, so I just drilled through that. Unfortunately I was a bit aggressive and some of the carpet (on the inside of the safe) grabbed the drill bit and kind of spun itself up into a big knot.. so it doesn't look great. But it does work!

I mounted the Golden Rod on the "long gun" side of the safe, oriented vertically. Plugged it in and it was warm after a couple of minutes.
