I'm off to the Grassroots Festival in New York next week - 4 days of peace, love, and 60 bands.

I wanna take my Cookshack Smokette and run it off my car battery. Anybody else done this?
What do I have to buy? How long can I run it without firing up the car?

I recall somebody in the forum (McClaren?) discussing this, but I couldn't find it via the search.

I certainly would use your car battery, you'll drain it and might not be able to drive home.

Haven't heard of someone doing this, but what we need to determine is what load the CS is pulling. The FE's do well on battery's because their main drain only last the first three min when the igniter is hot.

The heating element in the CS doesn't run constant, but it's on and off and you need to find out the load when that's running. You'll have to buy an inverter to handle that load.

I'd call CS today and ask them for the specs. I'm sure Tony or someone can tell you the load specs and we can help you from there.
