Default 'Boosting a' 110 V Electric grill - idea?

My Sunbeam 110 V electric grill works OK but it glows only faintly red
and it takes a while to grill a steak.

My clamp-on meter shows 12.2 Amps.

I imagine this mod:

Connect a 220 V infinite range element controller (15 Amp at 220 V
capacity) �and output it to the 110V element.

Adjust to a mild red color.

Grill .

What say you?

great heat till the element burns out

you might check about adding a second element somehow, providing 240
volts, providing 120 to each element.

wouldnt t be easier to buy a cheap propane grill?
