100 amp 3 wire cord (?)

I'd try to keep the total current draw when you're in your "max power mode" to under 50 amps.

Four 2700 or 2800 watt elements on at startup for a total current draw of (4*2800=11,200 watts). That's 11,200/240=46.6 amps.

Then you can cut back to just two elements once you're at temperature.

Then you can safely use a 50 amp range plug and receptacle without fear of overheating your power cord and starting a fire.

Thanks for your input. I will follow your advice and not run the 80 amps through a wall plug.

I'll keep both controls but just use one as a back up untill I can hard wire the to a breaker box.

Thanks again.
