    Back in the day i baked many a potato on the exhaust manifold. It's also perfect for heating canned soups/pasta/stews.

    Not needed. You arent boiling it, just heating to warm temperature. Just need a little common sense regarding how long to leave it tied on to the manifold. I never vented one and it worked fine.

    Dumbest thing I ever did was put an unvented can of chili on the engine. Drove for awhile. Ah the young and dumb days...
