If they are truly going to stop us from daisy-chaining power strips, they better provide us with at least 4 outlets per pit. Either that, or someone needs to point me to a 20-outlet power strip/squid. Or, can we use a triple-tap outlet adapter in each outlet in a power strip? This is silly.

Agreed. Power strips are a glorified hunk of wire with extra connectors attached.

While you may be correct, Fire Marshall Bill says no daisy-chaining. We've been dinged in our workshop for that in the past. So, right or wrong, what he says, goes.
