    Is there away to use your bunk heater to heat small dinners since I don't have a microwave?

    The bunk heater isn't going to operate once warmer weather arrives. Go to plan B

    My fiance cooked frozen burritos with the bunk heater when he first started out. He woukd open one end of the plastic and tape it up to the heater and let it sit for a bit. It was a far cry from a microwave, but it made stuff edible for him

    I cooked nachos on my engine block once, and it actually worked surprisingly well. If the item can be wrapped in tin foil, stuff it in your turbo, and that will heat you food pretty quick. Good luck!

    My trainer had a 12 volt device, it was like a large purse that he put canned ravioli and such. Its slow so he always kept cans in it. Never saw one i could buy.
