    Ive heard stories about that. Wouldnt the oil excessively poison it?

    Nearest Ive done is a foil wrap on a philly cheesse steak on the manifold at high idle a while.

    Tosses aluminum. *Shakes head... ive had pyros at 1400 before on steel manifolds. But don't ask me about those poor pistons. Esepcailly if the company was too cheap and tight fisted and spec'ed alumimum rods and pistons.

    Just go in the TS and get some out of that orange valve on the bottom of the coffee machine.
    I use their microwave for everything as well.
    They don't mind.

    That's when you tell that company to take a hike. ..I wish DOT would make all OTR companies put in APUS and min 1500 watt inverters. As I mentioned earlier I do fine with my fridge, crock pot, George Foreman grill, microwave, toaster. ..of course I don't run all at once but my fridge stays on 24/7 and all my stuff is 120 volt.
     
    BlueThunderr, laaylor, 2old and 2 others Thank this.

    I use an OLD Stanley. Now.... that coffee isn't boiling after 30hrs, but it's still steaming. What I usually do is preheat the bottle with boiling water.
