Looks like that plug does two things: It lets you plug into a 15 amp receptacle instead of one rated for 30 amps. It also lets you plug into a single pole plug instead of a 2 pole plug. Basically it puts two 30 amp loads on a single 15 amp supply. All this because standard 15 amp receptacles are so much more common than the 2-pole 30 amp kind.
Should work OK as long as you exercise sufficient discipline WRT what you turn on downstream of this plug. I agree with Kalakoa about loads that actually need to use both poles at once to get 220V. Not sure if it will release smoke but it won't work for those loads.
