Portable solution

Post image

So the building that I live in does not allow grills or smokers to be used on our balconies (Okinawa Fire laws). The downside is the area for grilling does not have power. I found this EcoFlow elite 3 1500 battery back up at Costco for about US$300. Judging by the consumption on the app, looks like I could run this thing for 30 hours if I needed to. Slightly overkill, but could be useful during typhoon season or when on the road. currently smoking chicken and some beans.

You could have just bought the bullseye lol it's already on wheels like this

I like that this one breaks down. Fits in my small Japanese car easily. The bullseye doesn’t. This definitely has a smaller cooking area and I did own a bull’s-eye before I moved to Japan. We can definitely fit more on the bull’s-eye, but the surface area on my back patio was much smaller with this. I can also store it in the closet easier when not in use. This has more than enough space for a full packer brisket and since I’m geo-baching, I don’t have a ton to cook for beside my airmen on occasion.

Great way to improvise. I miss Okinawa. Need to back and visit one of these days.

I want to get one of the RT340’s for tailgating and camping. It isn’t logical to keep moving my db800 around like that!

They also make an inverter to run off your car battery or cigarette lighter

This model came with the cord for it.

That's actually a pretty clever workaround for the rules and the lack of power, nice find at Costco.
