Haha! Thats awesome! Don’t remember it myself but when I was 8 years old, our family drove from Kentucky to Florida. When we would stop at a rest area, mom would wrap 3 dogs in foil (4 wraps; so a dozen dogs). She would lay two on each side of the engine block and we would drive to the next rest area and VOILA. HOT dogs! Hope you enjoyed my little story. Thanks Steve, for everything you continue to do!
My brother did a story once for PM magazine. He cooked everything on the engine either wrapped or in pots all wired to the manifold. This setup looks pretty innovative.
Ye hear alot about cooking with yer car matey !!
Never seen a commercial for one.
Could use this gizmo when I sail my land ship down south.
Now where did I put that back seat bathroom !!!
Arrrrrrr har har har !!
!st Mate Jim.
how many remember cooking hot dogs with a wire coat hanger through
the dog and then hooking up a electric wire to each end of the coat hanger then plugging in the wire to cook the dog? DO NOT TRY THIS AT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS!!!!
Seriously? Sounds about as safe as putting pennies in the fuse box (anyone remember fuse boxes?).
I don’t remember this particular device but, My Dad and I used to cook just about everything on the engine and manifold on our trips from Florida and Texas. Hot dogs, sausages, canned goods like spaghetti, chile and beans. Once Dad forgot to punch a hole in the can of beans and it blew up like a grenade. What a mess under the hood. Don’t ever forget to put a hole in the top of a can or you will have several hours of labor waiting for you at the end of the trip. Also, don’t leave the meats on too long or they tend to become “Jerky”.
that Hot Dog cooker is awesome.
I have a Hot Dog cooker that attached to the muffler system on my snowmobile. the faster you ride the faster the Dog heats up. you can also heat up burritos or any other wrap.
Steve when I worked on construction we always heated our food up on the bulldozer manifold. And yes I forgot a can of baked beans and it did explode!!! Smelled good baked beans warmed up pork chops, hot dogs, chicken etc. Jim’s Cafe
That is just way cool, but I would really love to own the
automobile in the advertisement photograph.
Me too. The tie is pretty cool too. OK, maybe not.
I wonder if it kept your buns warm in the winter.
Sounds risky…

I’ve heard of that. Never tried it myself.

Pots? Like soup and liquids?
Cool
Yep.

Ha! How come only southerners are responding about engine cuisine? Didn’t yankees do this too?
Now that is a meal on wheels
Indeed.

Did you make it yourself or is that something you can buy?
How old do you think we are steve? LOL.
I guess that is a pretty old pic… LOL.
Wow! Don’t know what’s worse, the invention or the fact the guys wearing white socks with a suit!
White socks. Definitely.
Very retro 1950’s setup there… (Think the cooking on the manifold would be far cheaper though).
Agreed.
this looks great. So Steve when do you go into production?
Hmmm….
