I have noticed that plugging things into 208v seems to always give a little spark on initial contact. What, you normally leave the gas whooshing out all the time waiting for a spark? Those things have pilot lights for a reason, although newer ones will probably light on demand with a high voltage starter.

I lived in a trailer(single wide) & used 2 grill propane tanks for my hot water heater,stove & dryer,they would last about 2 weeks.Just need a regulator,"y" fitting made for using 2 tanks(with a pressure switch to alternate between tanks) & whatever length of hose between tanks & "t" fittings to the appliances.Got it all at the local grill store,except the longer hoses,got those at a gas supply house.I think it all cost about $250,including 4 tanks It was great not having to wait on the gas company to "fit" me in their route.Had 2 tanks as spares,so just had to rotate them when almost empty,never had to relight the pilots either.Just check for leaks with soapy water.

Never thought about that No, I was just kidding. We all kind of went overboard, a little.

Pipe the hot air into your central air. Heats the whole house, and take the place of a humidifier. It's win win.

How about the electric range outlet ?? If you don't have an electric stove
If you have electric stove and electric drier just punt another breaker in the box and a new properly sized line for mining... no hassle or worry leaching power to mners if wifey uses the appliances
and btw check you home owners insurance diy electrical work may not be covered If not done by a licensed electrician and/or inspected if there is a fire

I thought about doing the exact same thing for a while. The issue I had was finding an affordable outlet, wiring, power strip / pdu, etc... I gave up on that and was planning on running a 30amp line down into my garage as I could get some of the parts from work for free. While I was working on planning out how to run the new line I ended up finding that someone had previously chained a second line off of my 240v 20amp air conditioner breaker and decided to use that.
I bought a dual 6-20 outlet and two universal 240v power strips for less than $100. This setup can hold over 4000 continuous watts of electricity. With my current estimated 2.222 KW setup I could of run it off of a single power strip, but wanted to have the second one for expansion purposes. If I was you I'd price out what it would cost to run an extra line and run more of a standard house (6-15 / 20) outlet. If you're main breaker can take the extra amps you could probably run a 50 amp breaker and wire it into five 10 amp outlets using a MWBC. With that you could use cheap 13 amp power strips and expand as you need it.

it's a way to burn your house down and get out of the upside-down mortgage. then your will either get a newer bigger house, or move to a government subsidized boarding facility.
