Has anyone had an experience with 12 V ovens?
I am particularly interested in current draw over time.
Any comment about a Burton unit?
Our son will be at a rock concert in Vic over last week of 2005, in our 4by. While there the vehicle will be stationary for 3 days, motor not running - with a Exide Extreme N 70 Z battery in good nic.
He propses to use such an oven to heat food like soup,
cook food, hot dogs etc, as thery are forbidden from using gas/fuel stoves.
So the question is,
- is this a suitable implement worth while
_ how many hours will he get out of a N70 Z, not rechatged?
Thanks
Rick

Rick,
Has been a couple of posts on the 12 volt Oven (26879 or 26473) but mainly used when travelling. (i.e. Engine running)
Checked out the Dick Smith Web Site and they specify the maximum current draw of 10 amps at 12 volt so the N70Z battery should be OK for say 5-6 hours without draining it fully. Wouldn't go any longer though or you would risk permanent damage to the battery.

Just another thought.
You could include a low battery cutout device such as the Projecta Over Discharge Protector. About $30 from Battery World.
Over Discharge Protector
I can't understand why the Promoter is banning the use of gas fired barbeques, etc., unles they are "protecting" the food consession holders.
How about a Cobb Cooker in the back of the 4BY???

Thanks Sand Man,
I had tried a search but not with those results.
I googled 12 V ovens but it did not take me to DSE, so doubly thanks.
Good idea about the overcharge protector.
A Cobb oven in the 4by with a bunch of 20 y.olds on thet turps/grass??? I dunno.
Cheers

We have a 12v oven purchased from DSE. We used it quite a lot on our recent top end/WA trip & found it very handy for reheating when travelling ,however the constant 10amp draw burnt the wire out at the back of the cig lighter.Have now wired in a separate heavier line that we have located under the front
seat. The plug & socket doesn't overheat now. Our conclusion is that the average cig lighter is not wired heavy enough for constant draw of more than an hour.Our vehicle is a 97 Hilux Dcab
