cooking in the truck

Yes that works well but some cans are too tall for the Burton 12V. I've had chilli bubble over and make a mess.

 

I normally just remove any label from the can, place it in the little stove, add 1/4 inch of water ( or so) close the lid and plug it in. Mine takes the better part of an hour , use a paper towel to cover the top while you open the can, it may spew a little. Works like a charm.

 

Just lay the can on its side.

 

I drove a older freight shaker with a local company that said its ok make it your home in a way. So in went a 1500 watt inverter. A real refridgerator and freezer fit fine where the old pigion hole cab was at on passewnger side of bunk area. A 1000 watt micro wave, a 850 watt coffee pot. limit use to one item at a time and it worked great! Surprizing how a great a micro waved dinner can be with a popcicle for desert when stuck at a DC with no hours.

 

We would like to use a mini Kureg for coffee. What wattage inverter should we get?
Thanks

 

That mini machine won't use much. You could use a 300 watt inverter that plugs into the power input on your dash. Rule of thumb is find out the amps it uses and multiply by 120 as in volts and that gives you your wattage.
good luck.

 

no please no propane unless u are cooking outside. I had 12v hot plate shaped like lunch box it got up 2 300degrees. they make skillets, crock pots, etc. all use 12v made for your truck. go look at large truck stop or go to wesite for supplies for campers you will be surprised what's available. most trucking companies want let you have an inverter past 400 like the one I work for. you might get lucky and get a microwave with the correct inverter look up cooking utensils for 12v and see what pops up. good luck AND NO PROPANE UNLESS COOKING OUTSIDE

 

Why?

You do realize that every RV uses LPG and people do cook inside RVs all the time, don't you?

 

I'm simply saying there are safer things 2 cook with besides propane and I also no pple that have had died in a rv 2
Don't you no if he/she asked the question about propane and the carbonminoxide poisoning this most likely mean they are not as familiar with working with propane there are safer ways of cooking on a truck because i'm quite sure that he doesn't have a stove on his and propane u have 2 make sure it is properly ventilated 4 a mobile propane cooker but 2 each his/her own I just think it's more trouble than it's worth just buy a 12v cooking item it's easier no worries bout setting yourself on fire

 

RVs have a larger interior volume than a tractor sleeper... easier to build up a toxic concentration of CO in a sleeper, but I wouldn't think that's the primary concern. Depending on what one's using as a burner, some of the products would be quite easy to knock over in the confined space of a sleeper. Now you might not be concerned about it, but some folks might not want to turn themselves into a human tiki torch.
