Oh for crying out loud, just walk to your nearest hardware or

Thanks for the advice. It turned out to not be as easy as that.
After 10-12 calls, I found only one....a really cheap one ($12)
that I wouldn't turn my back on for a second. I didn't buy it.
Hence the google search, and the post here.
Seems that in this part of the country (western USA) college dorms
and apartments (that I'm aware of) have outlawed
hotplates...too dangerous "they" say....so not much demand.
