   But that isn't/wouldn't be what I would want.  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.

   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?
