Cooking under the hood..

Hauling water to the gas wells, we didnt always have a place to find grub so we would stick canned spaghetti-0's on the manifold and let them get warm, that was a nice 2$ dinner. If anyone wants to try heating up canned food in the can, it easiest to buy the pop top cans so you don't have to carry an opener.

 

I've done the canned food on the defroster vents just turning it every 5 mins or do to get an even warming, of I felt cOngident enough that I would enjoy the food I'd actually do the cooking ontop of the engine, nice and flat

 

Sorry, I just have one of those 12v cook stoves. Can cook just about anything in it and I don't have to open the hood.

 

I have never seen that done.I think I would actually pay to see it.

 

Have done the spaghetti-o's routine a couple of times. When I used to run to Alb. all the time I would do it, usually stop about Las Vegas, pop the can, cover with foil, place near the turbo, about 40 minutes later it was hot and ready to eat.

 

I've got a propane cook stove that is about the size of a shoebox. Small enough to fit in the side box. It's perfect for cooking a steak or burgers... I just pop it onto the catwalk, screw the small propane bottle onto the side, and in 20 minutes I've got hot grilled new york strip and an ear of corn waiting. It's good nutritious meals, and costs less than eating in the restaurants, not to mention it's healthier.

 

thats the way to do it,save money when ya can.It has to taste better then any truck stop restraurant.

 

Hahaha, yea, my favorite are those drivers who place a can of something under the hood near the turbo to warm up and it explodes, making a mess everywhere. Yep, turbo cooking...hehehehe!
