I know some of you "Field Welder" types heat and cook food on your vehicle and on the generator motor...but how about this...??Anyone made a"Chamber type" cooker???Now, THAT would impress a date..."Wanna Burger Honey??"...you could put the buns in your shirt to warm them...classy...real classy...:rolleyes:

That would be great except you'd get your tux dirty crawling under the car to get the food. On a dual exhaust you could cook two at once.

I've been a field cooker for years but I've never used one of those....
One time I showed a kid how to heat stuff using the welder manifold or exhaust.We used the little Lincoln gas welders for light plants and you had to listen to them all night long so you might as well get a meal with the deal. One night I was working near him and heard a blast from his area. I went running over to find out WTF and he was holding this sheet of steel in his hands. Turns out he had burned the ends out of a rod can and had used it as an oven, with the welder exh. going into it. He had been heating a can of soup. Unvented can of soup, that is.:eek:When the can exploded, it opened that rod box up into a flat sheet and spread Campbell's Alphabet soup all over that truck. Pretty funny, but I'm glad I wasnt in the bed of the truck when it went off. Maybe there is a lesson there?.....

Foot, one of the reasons I just love the crap outta you is your imagination.

Many years ago, when I lived on the coast in beautiful downtown Pacifica, CA, a paving crew working on SSR 1 established camp in our town.

They frequented the local tavern in which I resided as a second home, and frendships began. They invited a bunch of us lounge lizzards to join them for lunch on the job at a highway intersection where they were working.

Well, we all went, of course, and the crew chief yells "Git them chickens, Mike", and Mike climbs up in the bed of the asphalt rig, grabs a shovel, and starts digging.

Pretty soon, a half-dozen aluminum foil wrapped parcels are sitting on a tailgate. Each contained a perectly cooked chicken.

Asphalt is sent out at 350°! There's yer roaster!

I am not sure I would care for the unburned hydrocarbon after-taste.

If I had a dollar for everytime a flangehead warmed a can of soup or beans on the nozzle block of a ship's main engine steam turbine ... Of course a few of the newbies would make the mistake of not cracking the seal first.

As a kid I would take leftover Chicken Fried Steak and many other meals for lunch when I worked on the construction crew of the swimming pool company that I worked for. I didn't use any of the enginuity you guys have mentioned though. I would just get the stuff that needed to be warmed, which I had packed in freezer bags the night before, and toss them on the hood of the truck and go back to work for a half hour or so. By lunch time, they were too hot to touch. Of course, I was working in 105 degree heat, with a dark colored truck, almost always parked int he sun.

My neigbor told me a story once about how one thie a guy put a can of sardines in the rod oven that they used to cook with and it stunk up the entire building. On the exaust pipe cooker, woul'nt the chemicals in the exaust gas be harmful?

I believe the gases just pass through on the other side of that plate.

I've done many a manifold burrito on winter wheeling trips. Nothing like a hot burrito on a cold day...!

I put a can of sardines, with a very small hole punched in the lid, on my best friends cars' intake manifold the day he got married. Does that count? :D Thanks, David

Depends on how that turned out. How long before he noticed? Were you caught?
