Not hot.
Warm is what I am dealing with. Not more than 120f or so.
I do not wish to get much past ambient.
Does anyone understand the math? What (if anything) do I gain by doubling up and running parallel?
Is there any "path of least resistance" to factor in? Or similar principals?

No problem with the voltage, simple 110 AC. The load is a fan motor, needs about 10 amps. Maybe I am stretching the wire a bit far, at 150 feet.
The fan runs okay, just worried about the wire running a bit warm.
Not too concerned with the codes here in Moose Snort, just trying to understand...
Thank you Mike,
Wire is getting warmer than I like. Not hot, but warm enough to worry me.
Just not sure if doubling the wire doubles the capacity. As I would think, at face value.
Is there any black magic at work here?
In theory, and in practice.
I am running 110 AC current through some number 12 wire. Number twelve is not adequate.
I can easily double up on the wires. Run two number 12 wires in parallel. Same gauge, same length.
Question, what does this gain me?
Does this double my load carrying capacity...
