Never plug a space heater into a surge protector. This is what can happen. Oh and don't worry,...

Depends on the heater and the rating of the “surge protector “, or any extension cord /device. Yes, a common/ cheap wiring device will not have a conductor rated to handle the current flow of an electric space heater.

Yikes! Also, air-fryers, do NOT plug those into a below average surge protectors. Why they make different cheap and ineffective surge protectors is beyond me..

You've got to read labels. Few power protectors are rated to handle power hungry appliances like space heaters or microwaves.

They can do it in a standard receptical too.
Don't run one on the high setting
