Ok. I have the AmeriQue and it works well. Due to the covered patio configuration, the electrical outlet is next to the patio door. Until I run a new circuit to the opposite side, I need to use an extension cord. I have to get the smoker well away from the door for a lot of reasons, chief among them is the smoke infiltrating the house when the door is opened of the dog uses the pet door. Can I get by with a 15 foot cord, 14 Ga/15 amp, rated at 1800 watts without degrading the smokers performance? Would 12 Ga be better? What is the longest extension anyone has run with success? Thanks in advance. Dave
