I'm looking for a UPS backup for my Englander. Tried searching online for the power requirements but can't find anything concrete. I'm under the impression the stove uses ~336w during start up and ~160w while it's running. Since the stove will be running during a brown/black out anything in the 400w range should suffice?
Any recommend what size UPS I should get since I have occasional brown and black outs?
Thanks.
 
400W would probably work well. But they are mainly used to make sure the stove can go into shut down. If you want to run the stove continuous i would use a generator and a good surge protection.
