    Lots of 12 volt appliances available at some truck stops, or Amazon.
    Burton Stove is one example.

    Wrap it in foil and put it on your turbo or on you exhaust when you do a regen.

    I dont know of anyone who does it today but my oldest brother used to put canned goods (soup etc) on the manifold, back in the 70's, for a while before lunch. Just remember to have a towel or glove on before retrieving the can...lol

    I used to heat up my food on the manifold, then Burton came out with the lunchbox heater. That was like a dream come true.

    I can vouch for Burton quality. Found at TA.
    It will probably take long. But it will work. I’d say start it in the morning. Should be good at lunch.

    The lunch box ovens work for that.

    I've known a few people to keep a small grill in the truck. Steak, pork chops, brats, whatever, whenever you want. I've seen camping grills that use the small propane bottles, with a burner on the side so you can use pots or pans as needed.
     
    Lav-25, NavigatorWife and laaylor Thank this.
