The issue I've had with this kinda thing is how to splice the (thick) 
wires together to be able to put a bunch of 220vac outlets in series.

Love to get any feedback on proper methods for this.

Also, if you size the breaker big enough for two loads, remember that the 
outlets all need to be rated for that higher amperage as well, which 
almost certainly means redoing plugs, etc.
