From: Beautiful SW Missouri Ozark Mountain Country
When I was driving OTR I had a stop at a department store that was attached to a grocery store. Taylorville Illinois, if my memory serves. Anyway, while I was waiting for them to unload me, I walked over to the grocery store to grab some rolls for morning. In front of the store there was a guy grilling Johnsonville Brats and they smelled awesome. But they wanted 4 bucks for one. I'm kinda a cheap skate, but I wanted brats badly. So I got the bright idea to grab a package of 6 and some foil. I laid the sausages on a piece of foil in a pyramid, and wrapped it up. Then I laid it on the exhaust manifold right next to the turbo, and drove to St. Louis, MO. When I got to my pickup, I could smell them sausages and my mouth was watering. I opened the hood and there was grease running out of the foil onto the manifold. man I can remember to this day how good it smelled. Well I grabbed the foiled sausages, and opened it up. The 3 on the bottom were burnt to a crisp. They looked like dried up dog turds, but the 3 on top were perfectly roasted. When you're that hungry for a certain craving, you never forget the smell or flavor of the food. I can actually smell it now.
Trail dog is the winner!!!
In the old days when we were traveling we would take some chicken, season it, wrap it in aluminum foil and put it on the transmission. After riding from early morning until lunch time, your chicken would be micely cooked. It also works with beef, fish, and thin cuts of pork.
I also heated many a C-rat can on an engine when available.
