    Stupid electrical question

    OK...so this is probably a really stupid electrical question...but I know very little about electricity so here goes anyway....

    Our T3 finally arrived. I already bought a herpstat to control the heating coil. Now the problem....the plug coming of of the heat coil built into the T3 is a grounded 3-prong plug. All 3 "female" outlets on the Herpstat thermostat are 2-prong. How can I get the heat coil plugged in to a 2-prong hole? Do they make an adapter for this? I was going to shoot off to home depot, but didn't want to look crazy if there is no such thing as an adapter to plug a 3-prong male into a 2-prong outlet. Anyone know about this??

    There are 3 prong-2 prong adapters at any Lowes, Home Depot, or Wal Mart. They should be near the extension cords in the electrical section.
