A further investigation into alternate ways to cook a roast - has anyone used their motor while traveling to reheat or cook food - I've heated chicken in foil in this way, it would only suit solid food if using foil or baking bags - might see if I can successfully cook a meal while in transit, a variation of meals on wheels!
Mythbusters had this on their show last week. We watched them cook a complete Thanksgiving Dinner on, and under their motor as they drove around. They cooked turkey, corn on the cobs, pumpkin, gravy, other veggies, even had a dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection for the three people, both Mythbusters guys and a tech head who was monitoring the engines temperature through out the drive.
Is amazing, I wouldn't have thought it was possible...but they proved you could.
I have no idea where it is now but in the very early days of inland motoring Kidmam had a device mounted of the manifold of his vehicle that did the job of cooking the meal between stop overs. A few years back I also recall an overseas family touring the world in an old rag top vehicle that had another contraption fitted to the manifold that did the same. Go to a 4X4 shop or show they have many cooking devices that could suit your needs

I remember years ago a hero of mine, Jack Absolum talked about this sort of thing on one of his TV travel hints shows, very interesting too.
Met Jack in his Broken Hill gallery many years ago Love his art & have a pile of his DVDs & a collection of his prints.
Unfortunately SWMBO got into a very animated discussion with him about his 'love' of Joe Bejelke Petersen, so we left on less than friendly terms. He struck me as a pretty opinionated guy .. unlike like me of course.
