    I was with you until the meat grinder got thrown in there. Not sure where that came from :anonymous:

    You may not be old enough to remember - but back in the day the air-filter was circular like this - about the size of pizza -
    Had a goofy friend who would wrap a frozen pizza in tin foil and drive around with it in there...

    I'm not sure there's many electric grills that are 400 watts. I don't even think there's any toasters that are 400 watts. Electric
    Induction takes lots of juice.

    For the Traeger, electricity only runs the auger and little blower. No heat is produced by the electric current itself.

    They are awesome! I don't run mine off the bed power, I have an ecoflow but I think I saw it pull like 180 on startup then like 10watts when the fan and auger were going.

    I bring a propane foldable weber tailgate bbq for grilling. I have a 1200 watt pure sine wave inverter that I hook to the battery with alligator clips to run a griddle for frying. Use an extension cord into the bed. Tested it in the driveway with the tacoma running and it heated up nicely. Just not too sure how long I can run it even with the truck running as there will still be a net draw on the battery. Not the perfect set up I know but I already had the griddle and got the inverter for free. Griddles other than the most tiny hot plate will need 1000 watts to run.

    Yup! That’s a hitchfire grill mounted on the hitch of the runaway camper.

    My igniter keeps dying on mine, but when its running its good.

    I ran mine off my camper battery for some long brisket cooks and it hardly drew the battery down at all.

    Just don't burn up vehicles at a football game, you don't want to be that guy who caused the fire at the Dolphin's game , last weekend.

    Love this little thing - the wife tricked out the inside of ours real nice.
    Question: Do you tow only in ECT or do you just go S4 or do you do the combo ECT and S4.

    I used to put it on ECT, but this last camping season, I have forgotten to push the switch and it didn't make a difference. Probably because the trailer is so light.

    Yea I was thinking ECT is all it really needs. I will admit with some amusement that pulling quick rises in elevation required me to drop from S4 down to S3 to get a bit of umph to make it up the hill.
