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.

  • Hmmm... One guy on another forum is getting 30plus hrs on a grp 24...

    300w for 5mins at startup then about 60w to run the auger and fan.... My batt is a grp 27... Dammit. Gonna run a test. Lol. Off for a pork shoulder I go!
  • The more batteries you have together will give the best electrical power consumption. Only you will know the details of how your smoker uses power and the discipline needed to keep everything charged.
