Default is it possible? 1600W step-down transformer so tiny!

Buy another identical cooker and wire the two in series.


hmm.. That sounds like a good idea.. you still have the 50/60 hz issue
with the timer but as long as that is dc it won't matter. I think you
might not even have any probs with it even if it is an ac timer.

Wiring them in series is very easy, but you will need to have 2 cookers
and run them both at the same time for everything to work.

And either thermostat will turn them both off, and they definitely
won't voltage-share properly, so it will blow up the control electronics
in both.

IOW, a very very very bad idea.

Thanks,
