I'd use a 10 ga cord or upgrade to 30A cord and circuit. Also is it really a 20A plug on a dedicated CB? Most home circuits are multiple 15A plugs on a 20A CB which means there can be additional loads on the circuit.
Good question, about multiple outlets on the same CB. The 20 amp outlet I have is for my washing machine, but I doubled checked and the CB for that outlet is also tied to an outlet in the garage. I will have to remember to plug anything else into that outlet.
But you are right, I think it would be wise to purchase a 20 amp extension cord.
