I have an L14-30 plug that came with a generator that I bought a few years ago, and was thinking about using it on my power cord that feeds my element. I was planning on picking up some SJ cord at home depot to make the cord and attach the L14-30 plug to the end that connects to the control panel. Here's my question, the SJ cord is 10/4 and the L14-30 connector is 4 prong. Obviously the element only uses the 2 hot legs (and I will be running the ground to the skirt of the keggle). Is there any issue just capping the neutral off at the kettle end and simply not running a neutral wire to the recepticle, since it's not needed in this application? Is there an issue using a 4 prong plug in only a 3 wire application?
