If you're unfamiliar and need a primer, check out the manufacturer's page...they have an absolutely excellent write-up: http://www.babingtontechnology.com/products/tray-ration-heater.html#.WcVEyxGpW70
I saw this the other day and was really intrigued by it. I like the idea of being able to run a field kitchen off of my HMMWV without having to get a dedicated MKT that won't be able to be safely towed by my HMMWV. If I were to decide that I need a bigger kitchen, the above heater is the same backbone of the M1102-based "Assault Kitchen." I haven't seen any signs of a real surplus market for it, so I was curious if anybody has seen these around or had any experience using the system. Right now, all I've found was a message from last year of a guy that was able to bring one to one of the GA rallys, and some eBay listings for oddball spare parts and some of the actual UGR H&S rations.
EDIT: Looks like they are out on the market. I'm finding some hits on GL having sold about 5 earlier this year in the $150-250 range, and a whole lot of them all through 2016. Seems like patience might pay off here, but definitely would love to hear of anyone that might be putting one of these to use!
EXTRA EDIT: To put further insult to this, one stand-alone TRH (no system) sold for $25 two months ago. I guess not many folks here have much interest in a cooking system that uses specialized MRE-like trays that feeds 13-50 people, depending on menu. I can understand that.
