Review: RoadPro 12V Portable Stove, the Off-Road oven. 

That's a great idea. I'll have to try it out.

@@ForgottenWaypoints yes trust me its like putting this thing on steroids 🤣

It truly is a trucker secret. We'd all be sharing how to do tinfoil dinners on our exhaust manifolds, like the old days, if it wasn't for a trucker tipping us off on the oven.

Walmart.com has them for $33.

Agreed

Is it still good?

@@texanboiii562 I actually had to get a new one, plug broke.

@@Noneofyourbiz123 damn but it did last a few years. I saw a review where the bag warped hope that doesn’t happen to me.

@@texanboiii562 mine lasted about 3 1/2 years. Had my second one now about 1 year.

Awesome!! I need to utilize mine more. We just did a 4wd trail in a group and used it to heat pre-cooked bacon. Nice to have hot food on a winter afternoon!

No cares that your an Indian vegetarian

This all sounds amazing!

Nice! I'd love to see that

@@ForgottenWaypoints Can one post pics on RU-vid? (not a power user here)

My fitting gets extremely hot in the socket so I think dangerous.

@@kiwiace625 the wire gauge that comes with it is marginal. If you got the skills, rewire it with heavier gauge wire.

@@eddiefoy3701 thanks Eddie. So it's the wire not the fitting?

Santa is bringing us one for Christmas this year, so I've been watching lots of these videos. Apparently, you allow about twice as long as if you cooked in your oven at home.

Crock pots are much lower. My mini is 105-155w.

That's awesome. I've never tried anything raw yet.

This is dope and so exciting

Yes it would:)

They are definitely cheap. My clasp is still good, but I've toyed with the idea of a good strap and strap it shut.

Let us know how your meals turn out. We've only re-warmed food in ours, but it's still been great.

@@ForgottenWaypoints It won't be for awhile. Feel free to subscribe to get notified. Thanks.

That's a great idea. We've done taco fixings, beans, meat etc and hand made burritos on the trail, it's great

We've never run it for an extended period with the vehicle off, so I couldn't say. It's a pretty high draw though. We always just plug it in while we are on the road heading towards our lunch spot. It takes about 30 minutes in our experience to reheat your food.

Thank you! It was my first ever youtube review and so it was a bit rough. Thanks for your feedback.

Use cooking bags also you can cook whole chickens and ribs and bake cornbread and cakes and cookies... I have done all of thrse

On my way

Nope. The biggest worry is if your power supply is undersized you can blow a fuse. In fact, we used it yesterday to heat up a bunch of refried beans and cheese for soft shell burritos on the trail. They really hit the spot on that chilly spring day. I'll post a link when I upload the video. The exposed metal rim around the clasp gets warm to touch, so we made sure it wasn't around anything. And when we opened it, some condensation dripped and vaporized on the ban, so it was definitely hot.

Would this work on a 21 year old car cigarette lighter??

Yes, mine has overheated three times now, blew the fuse in my cigarette lighter once, and overheated and melted two aux accessory outlets. This thing would be great if it wouldn't overheat like it does and/or if there was a temp adjust knob on it.

@@atthecrosshealing im pretty sure it will work,because that is an actual cigarette lighter in that car, not a power port

Ouch, that sucks. Mine is still working fine

I have to find an electrion to try to secure the wiring in it I use it every day for work. That's why it's messed up. Cause it's the pulling up the wire I think

You can get a 12v plug at a truck stop for a few bucks. Cut, splice, cook!

this is 12 volt DC, not AC, this is made to use in a car/truck and not at home.. you might want to look at the "Presto Nomad". it is a slow cooker that is potable (looks like a cooler) but it plugs into a 110 home outlet

The oven is aluminum lined and I just use tin foil to wrap my food or a tin-foil bread tin and cover it (to prevent spills due to the off roading bumps). Then we just plug it in and wait until we can smell the food, usually 30-40 minutes, and everything is ready to go. If some of our food does spill, such as gravy, it's best to clean it up form off the oven face while it is still hot. Once it sets, it's as hard to clean as a standard kitchen range.

Probably, I use bread tins.

@@ForgottenWaypoints Great idea, I'll have to look into that. Fit is good?

@@tidorazz4462 , yup. with room to spare. As you can see in the video, I used the tin with tin foil over the top for the mashed potatoes and had room to put in a few tinfoil wrapped malibu-chicken sandwhiches.

Inside is metal, most likely aluminum, but I'm not sure.

No, they do break easy. I've read some people use a small ratchet straps and sinch it shut. $3 is a sweet deal! Happy cooking..

@@ForgottenWaypoints thanks lol

120W is only a 10A fuse. To find the fuse size, divide the watts by the volts. So 120W/12V is 10A. In my testing, the oven was drawing over 11A and using 136W. Granted, some fuses can take some overload, so it might NOT blow, but that is very unsafe to run that way for long periods of time as it is a fire risk. Sorry, you'll need to run another circuit with heavier wire to safely run the stove.

@@ForgottenWaypoints thanks for the reply. I went with the Sabotheat. It says it goes from level 1 to level 6. Level 6 draws 90watts and the heating plate says it gets up to 300 degrees. I don’t know how true that is but I’m going with it. I’m only using it for max of 30 min just to heat up burritos or sandwiches.

No, it's insulated. The tray on the inside will burn you if it's been running for an hour, but the outside plastic is just warm. (The metal is hot though). You don't want to run it without the car running anyway, so it's not a really good heater. But a great food warmer. Just had nachos in Capitol Reef tonight, just plugged it in 30 minutes before reaching the visitor center..

What a dumb question.

@@jeffreywhitaker5154 LMAOO

You arent supposed to cook on it just warm ur food again

I've seen other videos where guys make Ramen, spaghetti, noodles etc. Use the disposable tin liners and off you go

It's supposed to be around 300F, so it would just take time. I have only reheated and it take 30-45 min. So it'd take a lot longer for something frozen.

I've watched vids where guys take tv dinner entrees , frozen leftovers, even a quarter of a frozen lasagna and cooked them up.

That stinks. I wonder if it was "dead on arrival"? Can you return it? Mine still works great, though the front clasp is half broken

yours is broken. I can boil an egg in less then an hour. I have cooked a 3lb chicken in an oven bag in 3 hours.

Diesel fumes mix with food.

If you have a vehicle with a 24V system, yes; however nearly all non-military cars are 12V, so stick to that.

If you could get that output the entire time it was heating it might. I would think that would be tough.

I have a jackery and my road pro works on that

@@kathleensimpson9193 is your jackery a 500wh?

@@kathleensimpson9193 the jackery output is 1200w, you can plug a toaster in a jackery.

Never tried, doubt you'd get a good sear. Let me know!

it will boil water in an hour. If you leave a sealed bottle or container inside and boil it long enough, pressure inside the bottle will build and possibly explode. not sure about a can its fairly strong.

I purchased mine off of Amazon

@@ForgottenWaypoints I got the new upgraded model for 2021 at Canadian Tire in Canada in the clearance section...The box was ripped and because of that i got the new model for $20 CAD (About $15 US).

@@JR9979 , awesome! I haven't seen the upgraded model. What is different?

@@ForgottenWaypoints Improved locking device and handle.

Then stay tuned for our reviews of the Dometic 35 and 50 CFX 12V fridge/freezers..

You'll like what you get!

Hahah. As long as I have a 12V power source!

It's a 12V automobile socket. You cannot use this stove in your house. It is very much portable, just like a 12V ARB Fridge is..

Eh, I much rather have something that you didn't have to plug in. If you need a car it's not exactly portable.

Portable: 1. able to be easily carried or moved, especially because being of a lighter and smaller version than usual.

More seriously, though, if you want a portable oven without a cord you will have to go solar or gas. This oven is for those who will be in their car (truckers, off road enthusiasts, long car trip, etc.)

@npgSymboL That's not what I mean though, what I mean is portable you don't have to use a cord. As in you can carry it around and not use a cord because you have something such as batteries.
