well i found a generic list. it said waffle irons are 1200-1500watts. I could probably use a 1000watt continous because it might only need a surge of power at the beginning.
Anyways yeah im pretty bummed, I mean i know the idea is silly, but i was perfectly fine with it, even with spending $ on fiberglass supplies. But now if i have to spend over a hundred bucks on it thats getting a little out of hand.
so theres nothing you can install in between the iron and inverter that lowers the wattage load on the inverter or something? like a flux-capacitor
?
there's gotta be some electrical resistor thing or someting.
cmon engineers!
