Default suggestions for a stove?

Scout,

I had 500 watt Micro Wave and I loved the damn thing. The inverter to
run it was a HUGE current drain on the batteries. I ran the Diesel when
ever I used the M/W to keep the charge up. I got by with a 50 Amp Gen.
on the Diesel.

When I say used I mean over 5 minutes. To heat soup or morning instant
coffee wasn't a problem.

I made a jumper cable to plug the inverter into the shore power plug.
That way I could use the Electric Percolator on the 110 outlet plugs.
Did make the Cabin smell good.

Another inside cooking source was my Origo Cabin heater. I'd flip the
top grate over and the Pressure Cooker fit nicely as well as a Dutch
oven ( Great for making Ribs) I heated the Cabin, and had a stew going
on those chilly evenings in the Northwest.
