Would there ever be a need to shut it off before the timer ends?  
How are you actually controlling the heater?

I posted a [thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/coffee-pot-timer/4743) awhile ago to control a coffee pot (I’m still using it) you might be able to adapt

- it has a count down timer displayed
- a button on the dashboard
- it turns a smart plug on/off

I’m the button turn it on for 20 minutes and - this is something you would need to change - the button can shut it off too.

In your case I would have a second button to add more time so the original button still could shut it off if needed.
