It will be interesting to see whether this induction hot plate on the 800W setting can heat 1.7L of water faster than the propane burner. Of course on shore power we can bump it up to 1500W.
800W is equivalent to 2700 BTU/hr (in an energy sense). The propane burner will almost certainly be quicker, even taking into account the less efficient heat transfer. (RV stove burners typically are around 6500 to 10,000 BUT/hr.)
Thanks for that.
Anecdotally have heard that 1500W Induction is faster at heating water than a typical gas range burner. If true, the stove burner must be very inefficient given the numbers above. Which is another reason we're interested in induction, particularly in the summer when boondocking without A/C.
When it's colder, might revert to propane, also as there's usually less sun then so harder to keep the batteries up.
