I recently read a thread here that talked about extension cords for the MES40.  I can't find it now, can someone help, please.  I need to try and narrow my temp swings.  I will try a heat sink next time but the extension cord might help also.

Using an extension cord should not be a problem depending on size and length. How long of a cord are you using and what gauge is it?
Always use the shortest cord possible.
Up to 25 ft, a 14 ga will work.
For 50 ft, I would use 12 ga.
But if you have to go 100 ft, I would go 10 ga.
