    Hey everyone I'm new and am going to to be team driving soon and I enjoy eating good food. Anyone have any recommendations for a good electric grill? To use to make some good dinners when at a truck stop I would be using it in the truck with the windows down. Looking for something reliable to make chicken, burgers, all the bbq basics thx.

    The George Foreman grills, or something similar.

    Get a bigger one, not the teeny tiny one. They go on sale a lot so...keep your eyes open.

    I'm sure there other options for electric grills, an others will suggest them.

    Don't forget you can do a lot with a crock pot, one of those lunch box ovens, and other things. They all come in various sizes. Hope your partner enjoys good food to, otherwise you may end up outside cooking.

    I'd suggest a coleman camp stove. Sit it on your catwalk and cook away. Cooking in the truck leaves alot of sticky residue all over. You might not mind but the next guy that gets assigned the truck will. I was that guy once. Whole top of truck was like a range hood over a stove.

    You're going to b making big bucks, you can afford good meals at top dives while on the road so why try to make it yourself.

    From an owners point of view, learn how to use a microwave. There is always a mess in a box with a lot of plastic.

    If you use the microwave find some cheap ceramic dishes so you can get that food out of the plastic. Plastic will seep into the foods in a microwave and over time eating all that will be bad.

    8D339088-1744-41C6-A09B-F1034F8AD79E.png Get the sunbeam rocket grill! No greasy mess to deal with! The mess stays in the bags! Meat is yummy and it cooks fast! Plus its healthier for u bc its not sitting in its fat!
