Question 2

WHAT IS THE DIAMETER OF THE HEATING SURFACE?

Accepted Answer

In woodworking I would call it a nominal six inch diameter, however the exact measurement I got was5 13/16 inches. Hope this helps.

Question 3

Can this get water to a full boiling point?

Accepted Answer

It does not. About 3 quarts of water will get hot, but the thermostat will automatically make it shut off just before boiling point. I know because I tried to get it to boil for 3 hours.

Question 4

Wanting to get for my husband who drives a semi. Need to know how many amps it pulls? the plugs in his truck are only 10 amp.

Accepted Answer

Cars and trucks are on a 12 Volt system and your house is on a 120 Volt system.  8 amps on 12 Volts is only 96 Watts.  8 amps in your home is 960 Watts.  The highest amp fuse on a vehicle that I have ever seen is 30 amps.  That's less than 300 watts of electricity, not enough to run a hotplate.  10 amps on a vehicle would be totally inadequate.I'm not familiar with Semi's.  I'm guessing they are also on a 12 Volt system.
