Grahame, this is KEEN! I can't imagine that the exhaust would
be hot enough to do more than WARM UP food, though.

My dad, who came up in the '30s, remembered a gadget for actually
cooking on the EXHAUST MANIFOLD, which I can imagine being hot
enough to fry eggs, bacon, etc. Has ANYBODY in HAMBland ever
seen such a thing at a swap meet or, maybe, in a museum?

 

Hmmmm!!! Come to think of it, some nice SQUAB
would taste good cooked on a manifold heater! LOL

Jimi,

If you click on the link that was with the post, there was an "Exhaustburger" cooker too (but it has colour photos).

Exhaust manifold cookers can, apparently, be purchased -

......all you need then is the Ford T to mount it.

Here's another version from Modern Mechanix 1931 - the cooker rests on an asbestos pad ......Ummmmm, very user friendly.

There was many a time when Yankee Stadium had fewer people in attendance than the Velodrome nearby. Cycling, especially the track racing was the premier spectator sport from the 1890's into the mid-1920's.
