What Hal said. You ain't got sufficient battery there to run the Sharp which is a power hog. Making hot with electricity is an inefficient idea, which doesn't matter at home where there's a wire delivering it; but certainly does when the supply is limited. Plus, >if< the inverter isn't a pure sine wave box, the microwave part of the Sharp may not be happy with the stepped waveform anyway. Run the Onan or get a gas stove.

I copied this off a Sharp ad:

900-watt convection microwave provides both browning and crisping capabilities
1500-watt "double" grills emit heat over and under food; 11 power levels

900 Watts at 50% efficiency - good for a cooker - would want 1800 Watts off the inveter. !500 Watts for the grill, since it's resistive will be essentially 100% efficient. Both will overload a 2KW inverter at turnon. Both on together will stall it. If the inverter runs 90% efficient or so, it's gonna draw around 180 - 200 Amperes. This is going to want #2 cable from the barttery to it at a minimum. And close in the bargain. This is close to being an exercise in futility Smile
