Burrito Box for FJZ80 (1 Viewer)

[SOCALFJ]

Octavio...I think your box only works for 1995-1997 models.. not 1993-1994 Fzj80's

Did you remove the resinator tube and parts connected near the head cover??

They're not in your photos.

Here's a shot of a 1993 Fzj80 motor..

Here's the 1997..

So what's the verdict on this? Who has one and how has it held up? What have you cooked in it?.........And when is one being built to accommodate the sc

 

[greentruck]

I constructed my own cooking basket using a couple of cheap wire-and-mesh organizer trays I got at the big box. I obtained a thermometer to help the cook judge things.

^^^ lmao a cooking grill under the hood, what a creativity I have to give you guys A++ on that
So where do you keep the dining room table then and utensils? Lol

 

[SFSig]

This is both ridiculous and awesome at the same time!

When are we going to see a "FJ80 Cookbook"?

Seriously, what are you guys cooking in these things (besides burritos)?

Sandwiches, burritos, hot dogs, stew, ribs(awesome-PM ALvarorb for the recipe), basically anything that can be slow cooked can be cooked on the manifold.

Ours has only been used to reheat leftovers for lunch so far. There actually is at least one cookbook out there on "cookin' in the hood" so to speak.

Anything you can wrap in foil will work. Crock pot recipes -- without all the fluids -- would also be fair game.

This is one I got from mike at bump it offroad. I haven't been able to use it because of the blower, but it's going on my wife's new 93 that I'm picking up tomorrow if I packed it in a reasonable spot towards the front of my storage unit.

that is bad ass. ive heard of heating up food in the engine compartment, but this.................. is cool as hell. would be perfect for getting to the campground/trails late night and not having to get the stove out. gives you more time to party down instead of cooking.

Love this thread! After 20 years of strapping my burritos to the top of my radiator, or using an under
hood amo-box... I got one of these.

Bumping this old thread to see who's still running a burrito warmer.

 

[CharlieS]

I don't have one, but would be interested in trying one out this season. Does anyone still make them?

An opportunity presents. I'd order one if you made one but I've got that pesky Turbo in the way...

So about 100 years ago, I won a burrito box for the 1FZ-FE at some event. It sat in my garage for uncounted years.
When I was prepping for my trip to the North Maine Woods, I finally got around to mounting it.
It sits directly above the exhaust manifold, bolted to the block. Some "adjustments" were needed to clear the York bracket in the front and the coolant pipe in the rear.
I used it every day on that trip for, wait for it, burritos. It works "OK" IMO, certainly not hot enough to actually cook anything.
Each burrito was wrapped in foil and kept in my fridge. I had to load them first thing in the morning so they would be hot enough for lunch.
I used it on some wheeling trips as well.

Oh that's awesome! yeah when I get another 80, I'll totally do this... I was already thinking about how to revamp the original grill install on the manifold.

here's the OG thread from 2005 Something's cookin under the hood.. and it sure smells good! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/somethings-cookin-under-the-hood-and-it-sure-smells-good.46104/

Love my yotaTEQ engine cooker on my fzj80. I will heat up lunch on the road or fully cook a meal if the trip is long enough. Seems to take about 4 hours to cook a full pork tenderloin at hwy speeds. A popular thing with my family is to buy some frozen pulled pork at the grocery store and slip in in the cooker about an hour from camp for some hot bbq sandwiches . Shrimp seems to take about 20 miles at 65mph. The disposable aluminum trays seem to fit perfect and no spills or leaks to report yet. There is a great cookbook that I reference often for cooking times and ideas. The cookbook is called Manifold Destiny. Best thing is smelling the food at stoplights. Enjoy.
