plug, a socket, and a short piece of 2 conductor + ground wire
Maybe my brain is off duty right now, but it seems to me the
iron itself will still be a 2 wire jobbie...

yeah, but you never know what someone else will plug into it when you're not
there. if the original socket is grounded, it doesn't take much to ground
the extended socket also.

check with a polarity testing plug to make sure you've wired it correctly
when you're done.
