As it says in the link, it is a 15 amp 240 volt outlet. If it is in fact
connected to a 15 amp 240 volt circuit, you'll need a heater to match.
Places like www.grainger.com will sell such items. You can also have an
electrician convert the line and outlet to 15 amp 120 volt and use a garden
variety heater

In another thread, I was asking about heating a crawlspace in my
cottage. Here is a different, follow-up question.

The previous owner (who lived there year round) had a heater in the
crawlspace. The heater doesn't work (and had not thermostat etc
anyway), but the plug he used was usual to me. I must confess that I
am clueless about this stuff, but it looks like this
http://doityourself.com/store/4170171.htm . The place is wire at 120 V
only, and the recepticle is for thinner prongs than the big 220 plugs.
Can anyone tell me what this outlet is? And is it materially different
than a regular outlet (i.e., if I was going to put a heater, is that a
better outlet that a "normal" outlet)? Finally, does anyone know where
I would buy a heater which would fit such an outlet.

Thanks,

Gideon
