Do you fill up in the gas station with it lit? they don't work well when being shaken about whilst tavelling,the 12 volt option was introduced so you start them up on gas or mains voltage then switch over to 12 volt for travelling which simply maintained the temperature already acheived.
Is it legal in the US to travel with it lit,what happens when a vehicle with a flame is inolved in an accident,was a firefighter for 30 years so can only hope it's not legal. Accidents involved in tunnels etc would all be the worse if thats the case.
