Here's a fun fact. I'm smoking a ham today and decided to use one of my several portable power stations just to see how it would do with the Mak. To my surprise, on startup, it uses only 100 watts and after the fire gets goings, it averages right around 11-13 watts for smoking at 225F.

When the auger is running, it'll go up to 30watts and then back down to 11-13 afterwards.

At this rate with my 515Wh Portable Power Station, I could easily go 20+ hours (not that I need to).

I'm surprised the draw on the hot rod is only about 100 watts. Even a much smaller power station would run this for plenty of time.
