Lunch on the trail
« on: May 08, 2010, 01:42:37 PM »
So what is for lunch when your wheeling?
Normally I pack a PB&J,Pringles,fruit of some sort banana or apple. Lots of diet soda and a few bottles of water and a Monster!

(yes I'm bored) ::)

we either have chicken-bakes on the manifolds or hotdogs.. i found the chicken bakes are perfect size to set on top on the radiator and the hood comes down and holds them in place without totally smashing them. so 2 on the radiator, one on intake manifold against the head and one goes in-between the power steering pump bracket and the engine / exhaust manifold. flip / rotate spots after 15-20 minutes. then when you start to smell burning chicken bake find a place to eat and wala nice hot chicken bake. the burning smell will come form the one that directly touches exhaust manifold and it will only-be slightly burnt, with burnt portion easy to remove....

this is all with tbi, for mpfi the intake manifold wont be as warm and your ps pump is totally different. but considering how hot everything under the hood gets at low speed they should eventually cook just about anywhere.

the Flathead 4 go-devil motor is preferable as it has more surface area where you an cook stuff.

pringles are relay good for on the trial as the can prevents crushing. we usually fill the can with other chips after the first day...

I'm back off bread and sugar, so it looks like it will be salami and provolone wrapped up with a little spicy mustard and maybe pickle....water for this trip.

Have lost 15 lbs. in the past few weeks and want to keep it going.

Cooking stuff on the manifold... just wow. I've gotta try that. Can I cook ribs and such on it too?

as long as it fits and you can figure out a way to know when they are done before being totally burnt. its nice to have precooked things so you don't have to worry about them fully cooking. but the more times you cook something this way the better you will be able to hone in on the amount of time necessary. a big factor is not using too much aluminum foil and to rap it tightly so that all the heat doesn't get blocked by the foil.

it's not really anything new.



I think this is an interesting one as well.  I can only think you might be able to put it in front of the cat.  They're used on snowmobiles.



Here's a rack in my friends JK.
