Generally speaking, cords for electric grills aren’t much longer than 3 or 4 feet. We advise against using extension cords to increase distance because most aren’t designed to handle the amperage these grills require. In fact, nearly every model we carry should be operated only on a dedicated 15- or 20-amp circuit, meaning the grill must be the only appliance plugged in while in use. A handful of others require 220 volts and must be hardwired into a dedicated circuit. Failure to follow proper operating instructions will lead to longer preheat times, lower temperatures, and extended cooks. With that in mind, always consult your owner’s manual for power concerns before using an electric grill.
