I got a helluva deal on a 240v cooktop that I couldn't pass up despite not having the appropriate 240v capacity at this time. I'd like to at least test the damn thing out, and ideally brew a batch or two. I know I can build an adapter to my dryer but I've also got a generator that puts out 240. After hours of searching for an L14-30p to 6-20r adapter for under $40 (this is the best I found...AC Connectors 1FT 10AWG L14-30P 30A 125/250V Locking Plug to 6-15/20R T Blade 15/20A 250Volt Connector L1430620-012 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WRT9LLP/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) I finally happened across this little gem RIDGID 30 Amp 10/4 Adapter Cord https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FK8SL2G/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
I figure I can cutoff the L14-20r end and wire the 6-20r to it. Anyone with more electrical experience than me (which is pretty much everyone 😁 ) see anything wrong with this plan?
Below are pics of the generator and cooktop, can't for the life of me get them to post right side up! Never did chase down ANY info on the cooktop. Found a site for the brand but never even found a pic, much less a review or a manual.
