Air Fryer @ Base camp

[feanor]

I'm locked and loaded 24/7. I truck camp with a toaster oven style but also have a full kitchen as well. I use it every camping trip and it's probably one of the best things I've added to the truck. I mainly use it for stuff like frozen chicken tenders, fries, French bread pizza, cookies, biscuits, etc. I don't do anything thats overly drippy or saucy since it's not a basket type. Runs off a large battery setup with 1500w inverter.

If your sole purpose is to zombie mode your meals, it's hard to beat it. Bring it along and give it a whirl. Pro-tip: air fried Uncrustable if you like PB&J. Throw a couple in there for about 5 min and it'll change your life.

Can you give a few more details on your setup here and some photos? Looks pretty sweet.

Hey, forgot to respond to this.

Here's what I have:
- 2x 230AH Litime Lithium Batteries
- grounds go to individual Victron SmartShunts for monitoring, then to a common ground after the shunts
- Hot leads go into two 200a Bussman MRCB breakers
- then into a 4 position Blue Sea switch where I can choose battery 1, 2, both 1&2 or off (disconnected)
- Single hot lead comes out of the Blue Sea Switch to a small buss bar block.
- Redarc Alpha 50 handles solar input (2x100w flex panels on roof) and 50a of DCDC charging from the alternator. Feeds positive output to that buss bar block
- small fused distribution block also connected to the buss bar. Starlink mini (w/ 12v conversion wire), cig lighter, USB socket, camper lights and Propex heater power attached to that.
- 30a Victron Blue Smart AC/DC charger for standard 120v charging (almost never used since the solar makes it mostly self sustaining)
- Voltworks 1500w pure sine wave inverter
- Anker 3 outlet extension cord and Anker USB charging block attached to 2/3 of the inverter outlets. Air fryer on the last outlet.
Entire unit has quick connections minus the central ground that I bolt to the steel bed of the truck. Can pull the whole assembly out in a couple minutes.

So a little about me. I’m there to hunt, I’m not much of a camper, I also hunt enough days I need food & cannot survive on freeze dried.

I’ve tried 2 burners, pots, pans, griddles and little grills.

There always mess and take attention.

I already have a Honda 2000 watt generator.

I’m considering taking an air fryer. Start the generator and the timer, & let it cook away while you’re getting your pack/bed etc ready,
It can do anything you can on a grill, and it’s better at frozen food.

It can do burgers, dogs, chicken strips and fry’s, burritos wrapped in foil.

I’ll have a jet boil for coffee etc

The only thing it couldn’t really do is soups.

Is anyone else doing this or considering it.

AirFryer at hunting camp is BadAss. My wife found air fryer Liners that are almost like Parchment Paper that go inside the fryer. we just throw em away in the fire after dinner…..zero mess to clean up & foods are endless as you mentioned above

That is a slick set up! Makes me wish I still had my Tundra instead of my beloved Taco.
Air Fryer UnCrustables you say?! Gotta try that!

This is what I have at home,
I’m slightly under the impression it’s a bit much for camp.

And a Honda 2k gen only runs for like I think 5.5 hrs on a tank of gas

Why do I remember our Honda 2K genny running for far, far longer than that on a tank of gas? Although we have both the small suitcase 2k genny and the bigger 3k genny so my TBI addled memory might be confusing the two.
