I have the same roadpro for about 12 years, use every day. Using a dc wattmeter, I measure about 11 amps during startup but it drops to about 9 amps once it warms up. Almost everything cooks in about 15 minutes, the only time it takes longer is if its frozen. In 15 minutes it uses about 4 to 5 amp hours. When I cook my food I just use aluminum foil (which I doubled), which is thinner and I think since all the surface is touching the metal areas it is more efficient. Also recommend the 12 volt cigarette flimsy plug is replace with a more efficient connector I use the xt60 (handles up to 60 amps) . and cut the thin wire close to the unit and replace with thicker gauge (12 gauge) so all the amps go to the heating element. You will notice the original thin gauge wires they use get very hot during use (wasting heat) . With a better connector/ thicker wire, the unit runs hotter cooking quicker. I opened mine up and there is practically nothing inside that will break, all the weak areas are outside the unit which is the plug and also the locking handle (mine broke off years ago) , once plug is upgraded it will last forever.

Thanks for giving me some upgrade tips! And thanks for watching 👍

Very new to me and I love it. TFS. Stay connected 😊

Sounds like you're preparing for that little camping trip on your property. Your jackery worked just great! Have a good one!!

Yeah I'm definitely going to try camping on that little piece of property I think it'll make a nice little camp sight 👍 and I've got pretty much all of the amenities I need for cooking and whatnot. Stay tuned there will be videos of that also! Thanks for watching Deb! 👍 Have a wonderful day!!

Very cool! I've had to move back to town but still got my solar set up(100watts 2 deep cycles) nothing fancy. This would let me cook everyd6 for free

That’s awesome to have. Especially for camping.

I bought my Road Pro (Same model as yours) almost 3 years ago. Never used it until this week. Started watching some videos here for ideas. Based on the literature for my Goal Zero Yeti, my 12v outlet maxes out at 10 amps which is why I never attempted to use my Yeti to power the Road Pro. Then I watch you power the Road Pro with your Jackery like a champ for 30 minutes. Mine shut off when it reached 10 amps in the units display. I looked up the info, and the Jackery 240 is supposed to max out at 10 amps as well, but your's didn't. Very Confused here, but glad that yours works well

Yes I was very surprised also because I have a Tecknet 300w power supply also and I attempted to cook in the road pro stove with that and it instantly shut down. So I think the jackery is rated at 10 amp but I think it maxes out a little more than that because I've cooked in it twice and it hasn't given me a problem at all.

The Road Pro needs a dedicated 15amps. I’m surprised the jackery 240 worked.

I just got a Road Pro 12 volt portable roaster, the one with the glass lid and plugged it into my bluetti 200 acmax 12 volt outlet and as it continued to draw power the alarm went off on the bluetti and the roaster shut down. I notice now my bluetti says the 12volt outlet is only 10 amps. The road pro is 15 amps. How many other 12 volt appliances won't work in my 12 volt bluetti outlet now.? I don't know much about electricity. I figured anything that said 12 volt would work in a 12 volt outlet. I didn't know there were different amps to those.

Actually my jackery outlet is only rated for 10 amps also I do believe. The reason it works I don't know? I think that the jackery is just a top of the line unit and they underrate the amperage rating. I have another power supply that I plugged it into and it shuts down immediately also. I'm really impressed with the jackery I think honestly Jackery is probably the top of line of portable power supplies. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!!

I’m surprised that the Jackery 240 powered the Road Pro. The Jackery 240 12V plug is rated at 10amps while the Road Pro is 12V 12 or 13amps. I’ve heard power stations burning out cause the Road Pro drew over the capacity or the Road Pro burning out cause it wasn’t getting amperage.

Yes I'm surprised also because my other power supply the Tecknet will not run the road pro it shuts off every time. The jackery has a safety shut off so I assume it isn't harming it running the road pro? Thanks for watching 👍

Hi, just wondering how long can it cook (if you wanted to test it) on a full charge for example. Thanks

I'm not really sure I think it would all depend on the size of the jackery.. on my little one I'm thinking I could get an hour or so of constant cooking...

put some water in the cooker and it will transfer heat faster
