How exactly does it work? Does it plug in to something? They say outdoor use....

I read a review where someone like the unit but said it sometimes scared him the cord was so short and so close to the heated part...he was afraid it would melt. Is the cord really short and is the cord where it attaches to the unit really that close to the "heat"?

Any standard 110 to 114 Volt wall plug works with it. No reasonably balanced pot or pan will fall off of it. I've used 12 inch dia pans and pots with it. Sets to many different temperatures.

I have a 6 cup Stainless Coffee Percolator. http://snowpeak.com/products/stainless-coffee-percolator-pr-006?variant=671147229 Does this burner take a long time to boil water in something like this Snow Peak coffee percolator and what heat setting should be used?

I love this burner! It heats well and stays consistently hot! I would buy another one tomorrow.

It's simply an electric burner that plugs into the wall outlet like any other electric appliance. I didn't care for it because on a flat surface the burner element was not level and it seemed that a pot or pan could easily fall off of it. I returned it and upgraded to a somewhat more expensive unit (by Frigidaire) that is superior in every way. I don't recommend this product.

Yes it's a standard wall plug. This thing is mainly used to heat hookah coals but over all its great. Esp for the price

it has a regular plug for an outlet... as a side note...sound quality is horrible

It plugs into a wall outlet. Its an outdoor timer but you could use it indoor but you can find cheaper timers if you only want to use it indoor. You could lay it down on a desk but its designed to be hung on a wall.

No, its an electric plug in. You need an outdoor extension cord to run it and a convenient outdoor electric outlet.

They are not physically connected, but work in conjunction with eachother. Not sure about outdoor use, I'd think not though.

we kept this under a porch. Did really well. We used an outdoor electric cord and had no problems. We are still using it

We only plug it in when we are out on the patio. I imagine the power cord is safe for outside use.

I'm using mine to turn on lights inside a chicken coop and it is plugged in to an outdoor outlet. so far, so good. this is my first time using one for a winter project so I will see if it lasts the winter, but has performed just fine so far.

We've had one of ours for over a year and have always used an extension cord for it--running it under the porch and plugging it into an outside outlet. We've had no issues at all!

I have it plugged into a gfi outlet on my deck. It works real well. If you experience rain overnight however, I suggest you pick the reservoir up off of the lower unit and tip the lower unit to drain the excess accumulation of water from the rain. I thought that i had a defective unit at first, but it worked immediately after draining the excess water.

It only works by being plugged into an outlet. It is not made for batteries.

It seems like it has to be plugged in. I didn't realize it was intended to work without being plugged in

What are you looking for? It does what it says it does. I used it for the first time outdoors when I had a barbecue in my back yard. I patched it in to my Fender Passport 200 watt portable PA system and it worked great.

It needs to be plugged in. The cord is about a foot long so really not portable.

Plugs in to regular outlet. It was great last summer. Colded the entire back of our apartment. I hadn't expected it to work so good. Absolutely no complaints and believe me if there were a complaint I'd voice it because I'm a complainer.

You will need a grounded extension cord. If you use this outdoors, I recommend an outdoor cord.

I have it plugged into an outside gfi outlet with a very short extension cord , but I also have the entire connection inside a zippered heavy duty plastic storage bag so the opening is minimal. The gfi outlet has an outlet cover on it also.
