Can you use this timer on an electirc bbq outside?

I do believe it is limited to 15 amps which may not work well with a heating element. It is also not designed to be out in the weather.

two things to consider:1) Wattage of the BBQ appliance: it must be less than 1000W2) Weather: in general it is not good idea to use the one designed for indoor for outdoor use. Make sure that the outlet you use is GFCI protected and no wet conditions.

I don't see why not. It simply plugs in the socket and you plug what you want into it and after the time is up it turns off the electric.

This timer switch has a power rating of 1000 watts. Electric bbqs probably use more than that. If you use it with a device that requires more than 1000 watts, you risk damage to the timer switch and a fire. It would be like using a cheap extension cord instead of an industrial one.

Yes, the timer has (3) 3 prong grounded outlets. The timer is suited for outdoor applications.

You might be able to install an outdoor timer to plug into your outlet and then plug the dolphin control box into the timer but the product does not have a timer

I put mine on the side of the house so that the sensor would have input. check the instructions, you may be able to use it on timer only. DEL

Yes you could use a timer (best to check it can handle 1500 watts or 700 High or low setting) .. you could with this model. will not reset when turned off

I don't think this would be a good idea. I believe that the Timer needs the full 110 volts to work properly.

The timer comes pre wired with a NEMA 5L15 Plug, (standard USA 120vac). It is outdoor rated and not designed to be hardwired. The transformer is sealed with the cord already attached. Consult a certified electrician in your area before modifying the designed cord. I did however rewire several of these to be able to run all wires through 3/4" conduit and seal up all unused holes with quality silicone to keep the bugs out. I only suggest doing it if you know what you are doing and are comfortable working with household current.

Yes, you can use a timer. The heater does not come with a cord ready to plug in. The easiest method is to use an elect. cord with a plug and a timer for 110V. The elect. cord must be sized to the correct amperage and the timer must be able to handle the wattage of the heater. I found the heater to work best, hard wired for 220V. So a 220V timer, hard wired to the heater would be my preference.

Yes, this unit must be plugged into a timer and you can use any timer you'd like. A $5 cheap mechanical timer was included with my feeder and it's still working fine.

No. This timer is for solenoid valves used for sprinkler systems. It is not compatible with a garden hose.

You could start it using an electric timer but you can't shut it off with the timer because of the cool down cycle that it has to go through.

I bought it for that purpose -- to use on a butane camp stove when our electricity goes out. So yes, you can.

Since there is no on/off switch, you would need to have something that can turn it on/off at the wall socket on a timer. If you have that, then it might work.

Sure, there is no reason you could not. It fits into the space of a single pole switch. I have installed several outdoor boxes for outdoor lighting, the timer switch would work fine - I didn't do it, but no chance of any problems.

Yes you can set it like that. I think for a battery operated timer it is the best on the market. Enjoy.

You should be able to, but they incinerate quickly. I hope your timer works. Mine didn't, and they won't take it back or do anything about it.

I doubt it. I would look into another timer. I bought 5 in order to get 1 that worked.
