How many watts is required to run a set of tire warmers and anything else I might want to put on? i.e. stereo, electric grill, electric water heater, fan, etc.

i had on old yamaha 1000 generator years ago and that pushed a set of warmers. I then tried the latest Yamaha 1000 and it didnt work. Most of your new warmers draw around 1200watts so you will want a 2000watt generator to play it save. If your wanting to also power all the other things you had listed while your warmers are on, you would probably need at least 3000.
And if you get one of them real loud ones from costco or sam's club, make sure you pit near Jon Glaefke.

I have a Honda that is 2500 continuous and 2700 surge and it's always been good for two sets of warmers, though I think that was about it's limit.

You begin your racing career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Be aware that Glaefke has been known to render the louder variety of generator inoperable by weekends end, Besides, why would anyone wish to park that far away from the action?
Woodcraft warmers are the most efficient on the market and only take 1000 watts. The kicker is that at our altitude your generator needs to be bigger to have 1000 watts!
Something to consider is the fact that one can get a Northern Tool catalog and finance for free spliting payments up on a nice Honda EU 2000 or 3000 watt generator.
The very next weekend you can take your family camping and not drive your neighbors crazy with that PowerMate or Generac Noise machine! Besides the fact that getting kicked out of the campground for something besides being an obnoxious drunk will upset the Misses even further.

PS just ask our new pres!
Those that have a starting wattage of 2000 produce typically around 1600-1800 running wattage ....just a heads up :wink:

I nabbed one of these off ebay, once you toss in the bing cashback and ebay bucks, it's under $800. Easily powers warmers, battery charger, and radio...
