I have been using the search function and reading about running the CS off of an inverter. Most of the info out there is on the FEC. It talks about there being a 3-4 second startup period where there is more electricty drawn to get the element working. Is that the case with the smokette also. I was going to buy a 600-750 watt inverter to run my smoker off of but I wanted to make sure that was big enough. I got a l000 watt generator (1200watt max pull) that I was going to hook to one of my deep cycle marine batteries and then the CS to that with the inverter. I think I will only get 1-2 hours of run time off of the battery itself. The generator has a run time of about 5 hours on a tank of gas. I figure that way I should have 6-8 hours of run time. (so I can get some sleep and not have to worry about it)
Do you think this set up will work or do I need a bigger inverter??
