Converting to Electric
Ok, in anticipation of the coming winter months and not wanting to freeze my ass off sitting outside for hours at a time, I'm seriously considering converting to electric. However, I have no experience working with electric other than installing some lights for my wife (and TBH, I was stressed out about causing a fire for weeks afterwards). I've read Jimbo's topic over and over again along with a few others on these forums, read some topics over at the Electricbrewery.com, and various other forums/topics/websites etc. I've put together an Amazon wish list to keep what I think I need together: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishl ... av_lists_2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow. and I plan to consult my father-in-law (who does have experience working with electric) to check what my current panel can handle and if needed, add the proper connections.
