Mine runs from a 80 quid 850 watt 2 stroke genny. I could have run it from the 1000watt inverter but was concerned about flattening the leisure batteries.

gonna sound thick now cos i'm not following this but.....

they run on diesel or petrol but need electric, again, could someone explain like there talking to a 10 year old how this is??

[Mike Halliday]

 the diesel burns but like all things needs a source of oxygen, a hot box has  an electric fan to blow air into the  combustion chamber,  also the diesel is ignited with an electric arc across two pionts which also need electric.

[stalwart]

Simpley explained,same as any petrol engine in a way,need a spark to light the fuel

just ordered my hot box finally 

which generator would be best to run the burner?

[drive surgeon]

are suitcase generators enough to run a hot box?  like this below.

Thats fine - I have a Stephill which is a Honda engined inverter type generator which was about £100 less than the whole Honda unit.

[drive surgeon]

thanks bdcs.  the suitcase units are expensive like but they are smaller so you have more room in van.
