I noted a some new owners had problems with the production EBE.
I've never had a problem with my prototype.
Got a production one last week & since today was a rare beautiful Dec. day, sunny & high of 71F, I played with my cookers while drinking wine
First assumption , while recommended to NOT use extension it's not practical, the cord is so short that smoke will enter your eaves.
All temps measured are with infared thermometer measuring pot temp @
20 min of heating.
Prototype with outdoor extension 15 FT, unknown gauge but rated 15 amp 470F
With 50 FT 12 gauge. 510 F
Extension may make some difference, heavier gauge ( smaller # is better)
Production ( all with heavier gauge extension )
No seasoning. 375F
Interior pot seasoned 525F ( hotter than prototype )
Interior & exterior pot seasoned 565 F
SRG. 640F
My prototype cooked great, my production gets as hot or hotter & I expect my first bird tonite will be great!
