I have the Sandia sniper 500, and it has a built in circuit tester that after you plug in both plugs, the heat switch will dim to let you know if its safe to run.

Of course it can, you can also run a dryer off of an extension cord, but it is not legal. If there was ever an electrical problem within the house, your name would come up as "the guy who rigged up a device to my dryer recepacle to run a carpet machine" then the insurance company tracks you down and, if your device is not CSA or (UL in USA) approved, your screwed..
It happens, and in this day were everyone is trying to sue everyone else, why take the chance?  If you use approved equipment according to manufacturers specs. the onus is reverted to them, not you.

2X20 amps=40 amps, a dryer is fused at 30 amps, the wire feeding the dryer is #10awg. therefore 40 amps would over fuse the wire and trip the breaker. The stove(fed with #8awg) is fused at 40 amps and could handle 2X20 amp circuits, however I would make sure the splitting device is csa approved, I have never heard of one unless it`s something someone has cobbled up.
Good Luck! (a genny sounds like the way to go)

Correct me if I'm wrong... Most all Manufacturer's are using the Amatec 116565-13 3-stage. The 116765-13 is the higher perf. and will blow circuits.
 
magnum PI? -- That will be such a pain in the a@@ moving washers or dryers or stoves to get to the 220.Dead Once you do that at a job good luck on repeat. It's that or a generator..
