Electrical usage

[Wully]

I’ve asked this question on wc forum as well. If I plug a grill in that has a 12v plug and uses 20w how much will this consume from my batteries over a period let’s say over a ten hour period . I’m no good with electrics so I kind of understand amps a bit and know I have 200 amps of usable power from two lithium batteries. But how many amp will this use over the ten hours

Watts are volts times amps.
If it uses 20W as you state, that's 20W divided by 12 volts - about 1.67 amps.
So in ten hours, it will use 16.7 amp hours (amps is the speed, amp hours is the amount used).
If it uses an average of 10 watts as the label states, it will use 8.35Ah in ten hours.

That's a very interesting grill.
How on earth do the manufacturers seriously expect a grill to reach 65° C - 290°C when consuming just 10W (approximately the power of a filament bulb sidelight)?
Surely either:
1. It's incredibly well insulated and there's no room for food or
2. It consumes somewhat more than 10W or
3. It heats to perhaps 5°C above ambient on a good day and doesn't cook food or
4. It's a gas heated device and this is the gas supply control unit or
5. This is the earliest April Fool I've come across to date or
6. I've missed something significant and I'm a Stupid Old Fool.

It’s a pellet burner Colin, something along these lines

So I presume it has a fan, Wully..
That's the only electric bit..
10 Watts is a reasonable value.
I presume, you'll have your solar blasting away ?
That should easily charge faster than the fan can use it..?
Or should I join Colin on his option No. 6 ?

Wully, even with your mansion on wheels, the more gear you get, there’s going to be a time when you’ll be buying a trailer.
Come to think of it, our leader may have one.

I’ve got rid of 3 barbecues this week and replaced the lot With that Davy Crockett pellet smoker and grill. I have something similar but a lot bigger at the house they cook really well and you get the wood flavour and texture to the food.
