   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.

   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?
