That's great info, thanks!

That would be great for use in a boat, camper, or even an ATV or golf cart. You can also buy a lighter socket with large clamps to hook directly to a battery if your vehicle doesn't have a lighter socket of its own. These days, cars no longer have ash trays, and the socket is called a utility outlet.

I'm going to look into one of those, because I usually take an MRE along when fishing, and if I eat off the tailgate, that would be a better way to heat my entree than an iffy FRH.

I just bought one of these based on your recommendation. Kind of excited to try it out. Yours still working like a champ?

Cheers,

It is, indeed! It gets regular use, and is still working great.

24 to 12 volt conversion. Pro Tip: Don't buy the cheapest replacement cigarette plug. Will save you from buying a piece of junk and the right one. A few more days and this project will be "Ready to Eat". Will post some follow on pics.

Cheers!

Definitely a good tip. I had actually gotten about halfway done soldering the new connector on when I decided to get a little more heavy duty plug. No sense in putting a cheap, fragile end on a piece of military-grade equipment. I look forward to hearing how it works for you.

These ration heaters remind me of toasters. Which makes me crave French toast for some odd reason..

We had a little tour yesterday and I had a MRE with me I want to have for dinner, "cooked" in the heater.
But after that lunch:

there wasn´t any space left over for ANY dinner...
