I'm having problems finding a 10 gauge extension cord for a heat stick I want to build. Any suggestions on where to look? Am I correct that for a 2000W, 120V heat stick I need a 10 Gauge extension cord, using the 80% continuous use rule?
Also, the outlet/circuit I want to use is far away from where I brew. I live in an apartment in an old house, so modifying the circuitry/outlets is out of the question. Other than tripping on the cord and pulling the boiling wort down, is there a safety concern with a long (25 or 50 ft) extension cord from a 20 Amp, 120V outlet?
thanks for your help, sorry if these are easy questions. and yes, I will have a GFCI outlet for the heatstick.
