What size would you suggest and would the marine battery and invertor be out of the question?

Hi Shines, I don't have a 500, but I think because of the rotisserie, the marine battery/inverter wouldn't give you power for very long. It says on the Cookshack website that the 500 draws 14 amps, so it would need 1680 watts, so you should probably get a Honda 3000eu generator.
Shine,
I have a 500, and I have had to look were I plug it up at. If I get into an ground fault outlet many times it will kick. The start load is when the unit draws most of its amps. When the heater elements fire up. Then the three fans that run all the time, and also the motor for the rotis. I feel even after you got it fired up the battery would go far. And with the new controller, I don't think it would like low voltage. I'm looking at the 3000eu, but haven't needed it yet.

I have an FEC500 mounted on a trailer. That trailer has an 8' flouescent light, 2 90W floods, a commercial fridge and a demand water pump. Run it easily with my Honda eu3000. Quiet as a mouse f*rt.
