Well, late night at the shop and Josh and Ryan and I where discussing how much fun it would be to have a redneck roadtrip and cookout. If you are not sure what I am talking about, this is the basics.

Clean your engine, prepare a bunch of food that could cook within tin foil and put it in various locations around the engine bay. Go for a drive at a distance to a park or other lovely place and pop the hoods and do lunch. This has been done many time by various hillbilly and redneck groups in the past, (Bucky has probably done it).

Who else is crazy enough to try this?

I would be up for it. Make a small wire basket and rig it up in there to hold everything just far enough from the exhaust manifold to cook, but not burn, lunch.

We were digging a little deeper and found a bunch of links on this as well. Here is one that is pretty entertaining.

This person was using a honduh, as with every other aspect of life, we can own their cooking capabilities. DSM's ought to be able to generate enough heat to simulate a microwave, and that says nothing about the 3S which might just cause immediate self combustion of your lunch. We are going to find out.

OK, this is a little too redneck even for the rednecks. :lol:

LOL :banana:

For once people with small turbo's might have an advantage.

Man, if you really want to be redneck you have to use "food" that you find on the side of the road! A roving roadkill cafe, hell yeah!!

You will have to demonstrate that one, I personally think I will stick to the less traditional hillbilly/redneck approach and try store bought food. Roadkill is just a bit too "bucky-ish" for me.

Bryan Nelson built a hotdog cooker for his exhaust manifold. He forgot and left it on his manifold during tech inspection at Rock Falls and nobody noticed.

I can believe that, all they care about there is if you have your battery mounted right and secured.

CRAIG

Fuck ya im in. It better be a long drive. I want a steak.

I was just about to add that then I saw you already posted it. Deffinately a cool idea.

Its a big thing you can do with snowmobiles. They sell those that attach to your exhaust.

Cooking food on your engine increases its total efficiency! Now you are using what was once wasted heat. ;)

Now where is my John Deer hat with the attached mullet?

"SHEEIT! I'MM in. Can I bring my cousin,err. I mean ma wife?"
:cheers:

Im down for this, I think it would be sweet. Got to get me one of these first!

Hot Dog Cooker

Sounds like a fun time. Someone organize a date, time, meeting spot, and destination.

A cruise up to Duluth might be cool, fuck you could cook a god damn turkey by the time you got up there.

I many a time have though about how nice it would be to have a cooker in the Talon. I spend far, far, far to much time sitting on the back hatch of the Talon on the side of the road. A cooker mounted on the manifold would stay warm long enough to cook some dogs after the motor takes a big dump on you.

I dad had a plug in cooler for road trips when I was young. Do they still have those? Maybe that would be somethiong to mount in the car to keep the dogs good and the sodas cold for when your faced with the side of the road.

Short version, count me in. I wouldn't miss it.

Todd Erickson used to do this with hotdogs on the catalytic convertor at rallycrosses. He would adjust his idle a little so it would warm up the cat a little more and then throw the hotdogs on it.

Wow, I can't believe people actually do this....
