Buy a cheapie pair of gel hand-warmers, the ones which you activate by flexing a little metal disc in the pouch.   Just keep one of those wrapped snugly in something soft with your chrom and it will keep it at playing temperature for several hours.  Set it up 10-15 minutes before you start playing.  You always have the second one as a spare if necessary.  You can recharge them hundreds of times by boiling them in a pan of water for about ten minutes.  You can pick 'em up this end for about £3 or £4 a pair.  Cheap, portable, convenient and it works a treat - what more does one need!
