    Default Useing the Truck Motor as a Oven?

    WHen I was in School the instructor was telling us about using the motor as a Oven to Bake a Potatos and grilling a Steak while he went down the road. Has anyone ever tried this?

    I did a steak once. It took about 6 hours, and tasted like garbage. It was tough as all heck. I had to wrap it in about 10 feet of aluminum foil, and it was really difficult to find a place where it wouldn't fall out. From what I remember, I pinned it somewhere near the exhaust manifold.

    :shock: Yummy.

    Might can use a Mack's exhaust manifold to smoke a brisket. That should be enough smoke. :P

    Despite my prior tongue-in-cheek "road roast" recipe, no. And I doubt I'd try it either, due to the lack of heat control and the possibility, however remote, of contaminating my food with road grime and hydrocarbons.

    When I did it, I wrapped it about 6 times in tinfoil, so that there was no contamination. But the uneven (and way too low) heat just doesn't work well for cooking.

    when I hauled asphalt about a hundred years ago, we used to wrap hotdogs in foil and stick them in the asphalt, by the time we got to the jobsite, they were done just right
