The cord upgrade may well help, but both boilers are never on simultaneously--that's why a 15 amp circuit can handle the Brewtus without overload.
Both lights come on sometimes (when both need to fire), but the steam boiler takes priority and so when both lights are on, only the steam boiler is actually firing. bmc Sent from my 8-track deck On Dec 7, 2011, at 16:41, buzzxed <[email protected]> wrote: > To save a dollar or 2 expobar put an 18 gauge line cord on this > machine.
