That is a great example of on-the-go engineering! This man goes with his gut, just like me.

Just found this thread. We do this kind of cooking on locomotives all the time. We use the turbo/ exhaust area, plus many other locations including sidewall heaters. Cans also work well just don't use the type that have the pull tab lids. They tend to explode.

Great idea

Great Idea,

And I thougt we were being creative by leaving a mineral water bottle there for coffee or tea as soon as we arrive to our campsite

 

[FJ40-GARAGE]

Just loaded my FJ40 cooking Video on youtube.

Some more pictures can be found on my LC Cooking page...... i prefer Franks.........

No its not on a 80 modell........still tastes great.
That should be moved to the gourmet section anyway.....

 

[GXO]

indeed, too much time on your hands....umm, can you post a build thread?

 

[cam75w/ls1]

I just happened on this thread and was laughing out loud. I used to drive 30 minutes to work every morning to the BMW dealership where I worked in 85 and kept my breakfast tacos under my intake manifold on my GTO back then. The guys at work thought I was weird!

 

[SOCALFJ]

Build thread please!

 

[Bitehard]

innovation....sweeet

 

[photogod]

Okay, next it's gonna be the guys from Minn and WI that put an ice cream churn on a PTO gear to make ice cream!!

That cracks me up!!!. I purchased "Manafold Destiny" last year, can't wait to put it to use.

Hey, who let this thread out of the vault? heh heh.. sad day when the grill went out and the york went in, I'll have to find a way to cram it all back in there, almost time for CM again!

 

[Barbarosa]

on old bmw bikes, the i aint got no money ones... i have seen creative things done with coke cans... perhaps you could use a silver bullet, set it up on a low side to drip grease into and you would have to change per cooking... just some bailing wire would hold it in place!

but would seem foil wrapped would be best method...

that is a cool idea over all....

makes me hungry

 

[DIHRD9R]

that's wicked man, very clever set up. nice job!

 

[tomatopants]

I'm reading the FAQs cause I'm bored. This needs attention drawn to it again. So I'm bumping it. Up. To the top.


Because it's the best mod I've seen. I'm going to design my own now.

Oh my where have the years gone... and this thread makes it back to the top. Well I'm still cookin' every now and then, I've actually got a 2yo son who likes tater tots and corn dogs cooked on the engine (didn't have a kid when this thread started) those seem to be our favorites. I've done a few more roasts but it's tough to get tin internal temp up high enough. Things are a little tighter under the hood now with the OBA, but I got it all to work, not quite as convenient as before but still totally doable. here are some fairly current pics..

 

[1973Guppie]

here's an easy way too cook dogs, burrittos, whatever, I use this on my fj40 and it works great!!

HOTDOG4 - Hot Dogger IV

it bolts to my headers.....

 

[4xoddic]

Nicely done with a touch of Red Green.

Did I miss the Duct Tape pic?

Then all the 3FE rollers would be pissed because their motor doesn't generate enough heat (power) to brown a marshmellow.

I believe IF you check with CDan, you'll find Amazon.com: Manifold Destiny The One! The Only! Guide To Cooking On Your Car Engine: Bill Scheller Maynard Chris: Books came out in the 1989 FJ62 Land Cruiser Accessories Catalog. My wife began preparing heated sandwiches circa 1990 in our 88 FJ62. Double wrap in HEAVY Reynolds Al foil. Toasty hot by the time we get to upper end of Tuttle Creek Reservoir Wildlife Area. Before opening hood, get a big stick to beat off the hungry mutts.

We did NOT try eating them in our FJ62, so I can't vouch for whether the MILFORD would keep our dogs in their proper place.

Keep track of the inner foil w/melted cheese, don't want to find Silver Bullets out on the trail.

Wife and I enjoyed, and made the dogs drool, some KC barbecue at 13,000' utilizing the S'Nakman cooker yesterday on Argentine Pass above Georgetown, CO. Abaloolly the best $10 you can spend upgrading your 80. Yummy!!!

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

BUMP for the new guys....

 

[lndcruz]

haha, this is awesome

 

[Pinetop Cruiser]

Nothing elaborate for me, but just a grill stuck in with wire and a disposable 9x9 aluminum foil pan on top to keep the burritos in place. The foil pan is nice since I can bend it to keep things in place. Going to probably try a roast and cubed potatoes on my way to Silverton, CO this week. Have also used it for MRE's when I don't feel like being creative.

Love the Car-B-Que name, but S'Nakman grill is classic! Get strange looks/chuckles from people, but a great mod!
