Automatic Food Cooker Runs by Exhaust Heat of Car
MEALS can literally be cooked on the run through the use of the automatic cooker shown in the photo above. The cooker is mounted on the rear bumper of the motor tourist’s car and an extension from the exhaust pipe connected up with it, as shown in the insert. The cooker contains a steam pressure kettle which is heated by the hot exhaust gases. An hour’s drive is quite sufficient to thoroughly cook meats and vegetables. Total weight of the unit is so slight that running qualities of the car remain quite unaffected. Motor tours are much more pleasant when one is assured of a well-prepared meal at the end of the trip.
Mmmm, I love my steak with a nice leaded-gas smoked in flavor!

what you people have never cooked with your engine on a road trip? Theres even a cookbook that tell you have to cooking on your engine block.http://www.amazon.com/Manifold-Destiny-Guide-Cooking-Engine/dp/0375751408
The article says “The cooker contains a steam pressure kettle which is heated by the hot exhaust gases.” the exhaust is not coming in to contact with the food.

Just because some people have cooked with their engine on a road trip doesn’t mean we’ve all done it
And while it’s clear that the exhaust doesn’t actually contact the food in this setup, the obvious funny next step is to add a smoker next to your barbecue/stove. ‘Cause it’s making smoke already. See — funny, ha ha.
