| * **immersion (loop) heaters** for DC are typically 150w. Example: [[https://amzn.to/3xUKHh6|RoadPro beverage heater]] (**138w**). Caveats: |
| * heat only water with them; anything else baked on is extremely difficult to clean off the coils |
| * carry extra fuses in case you blow the ciggy port fuse. Know where the fuses go. |
| * babysit the heater while in use - if the container falls over or the heater otherwise slips out it can cause a fire. |
| * unplug before removal from water to avoid overheating the element |
| * have a safe place planned to set them down //before// heating; they will be very hot and can melt/burn surfaces after removal from the water |
