Does a portable electric heater without a thermostat exist?

Is this the only form of space heating in the house? Does it not have central heating?

I think you’d be better off with a pair of oil filled radiators which have a bit of smoother output vs just on/off like halogen / ceramic or radiant heating does.
 

To answer your specific question I do not know of one. @SteamyTea linked above to the nearest thing to what you have asked for I think.

 

3000w running constant is going to be very expensive to run though.

Tubular heaters sold for e.g. greenhouses? Low output per unit length though.

 

Yes I remember a whole variety of heaters of yore. My parents had a vertical cylindrical Belling convector ?1kW which was styled to mimic the old paraffin heaters, that had no thermostat. And two rectangular convectors by Morphy Richards, one had a thermostat and one with no controls of any kind. All three had comfort lights which shone an orange glow downwards on to the floor.

 

My grandmother had a single bar (1 kW) fire where the grill was vestigial and it was easy to touch the element. At Coleton Fishacre (NT place in Devon) there is a wonderful Art Deco fire in the shape of a yacht, the completely unprotected rod element is the mast and the chrome reflectors are the sails!
