Stacking multiple sockets for electrical heater

[nazhus]

Might be bit of a silly question but i have a 2.5kw electrical heater that has a broken thermostat and currently use a remote control socket to switch it on and off.

I also want to use a timer socket, so i guess the timer socket plugs in first, then the remote socket, then the heater plug. Both sockets are rated at 3kw.

Will this be safe or is it too risky?

Why not just buy a smart plug that can do the remote and timing in one single device?

I've actually been thinking about doing that, never owned one before but are they good? how often would you say it loses connection?
