   propane, no gas, no    
   wood, no wood pellets, no wood chips, no wood sawdust, and no charcoal. In   
   other words, imagine an electric coil VERSION OF a, let's say, 6 burner free   
   standing propane grill, but one that has ONLY one power cord. If not, does   
   anybody know if it would be    
   possible to design and build such a thing? Thank you.

   whose specs say "200 watts".  They also say "20 amps" but that doesn't mean it   
   actually draws 20 amps, just that you can plug it in to a    
   20 amp outlet.  Looks like it would provide about 1 "burner"'s worth of   
   cookery.  I see no reason 6 of such couldn't be ganged into one unit    
   that would draw a maximum of 1,200 w if all 6 elements were going.  Marginal   
   on a 15 amp circuit, but I think I've experienced space    
   heaters running on such with such peak power.
