traeger Jr., a grp 27, an inverter. What's the best recharge

Soooo,

I'm gonna be up a June/silver lake in October, the man crew wants the smoker.... It's a 5 day dry camp. I will be running my generator in the morning,

I need to power my traeger with an inverter. I bought a decent cobra 400w inverter.. That's the easy part. Sooo, what's the best way to charge this thing. Should I just plug it into the rigs batt bank, when I run the genny. Or should I tie my other bank to the rig and run the whole thing off the rig, ( 2 banks of 2 grp 24 12v) I generrally only run 2 batts.

Or get a cheapo solar kit and let it charge the standalone battery?

Hmmm the dilema.
  • If you had a 100W solar panel on the smoker and battery, it would most likely cruise all day. You know you want one, tee hee.

    The other way to look at this is: a five man crew having to wait on dinner or no dinner at all with battery issues.
  • My plan wasn't to run the grill off of my house batts... Just one grp27 for the grill. But... Now I'm gonna rig something up.. Lol
