Using my example that is in my       OP, I would want 6 individual, "each one works independently of all the       others", (so to speak, for lack of a better way of saying it), burners, but       with ONLY ONE power/plug in        cord. The kind of set up/design, that, like you can with a 6/multiple burner       propane grill, at first, you can turn all of the burners on to get the whole       thing hot, and then, once it IS hot, you can turn SOME of the burners off so       that you can cook with        indirect heat. As I said in my OP, just an electric coil burner version of a       multi burner propane grill.               >       > City regulations mean that the apartment I'm in isn't allowed to have        > gas (any flavor) or charcoal barbecues.        >               Same, or at least similar, thing where I live. I live in a condo complex that       was built in I *THINK* 1970 that started out as apartments. For a long time,       we could not have *ANY* grills of ANY kind or any other type of outdoor       cooking device. Now, we        can have ONLY electric grills. BECAUSE OF situations/laws like this, I would       think, (but of course I could be wrong), that there would be a great market       for something(s) like I describe. Snidely, are you allowed to have those       upright, electric outdoor        smokers where you live?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
