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?

I intend to run the element with about 15 Amps instead of 12.

Yes, it will shorten the life a bit, but it is currently barely
glowing red.

You have to turn off the lights to see it.

I like the convenience of my Patio Caddy electric.

It is smaller and insulated.

It gets up to 500F.

I prefer electric and I have retired my gas grills.
