Electrician request! Help me Paperbagger, you are my only hope....

I borrowed a heater from my dad, it's 240v and has this plug here, a 6-15 I think.

Now, I could follow the guide here:

https://www.electrical-online.com/ho..._120v_to_240v/

And install a 240v 15 a circuit, but this is just temporary and I've got 2 NEMA 14-50 outlets already.

Can I just cut the cord and use one of these:

I assume the current wiring is just ground and 2 hots, no neutral. So I could wire the plug larger plug that way?

I don't really feel like shutting power off, opening my panel and installing a new outlet for temporary use. I've looked for an adapter, but they are more expensive.
