entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Use a UL approved, 3 prong plug (grounded) that is rated for at
least 15 amperes and suitable for outdoor use.
• Never connect two or more extension cords together.
• Use the shortest extension cord possible.
• A 12- or 14-gauge cord of less than 50 feet is preferable.
• Keep connections dry and off the ground.
• Avoid draping the smoker/grill cord over a countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children, animals or tripped over
unintentionally.
