[penguicon-general] Food track - Take 2

[chuck child]

Yep, High voltage draw items, like popcorn poppers, electric heaters, and
hair dryers can be extremely touchy about cheap extension cords.

I will check out the Patio and the Gazebo for electricity, on Sunday, and
then figure out what is best for the purposes.   I am willing to bet that a
good, 10-12 guage extension cord would be a lot less of a problem .. . But
the way things are today, I would probably have to make one myself out of
10/3 Romex to get a really good one. . . . Hrm.
