I usually try to stop before dark. It's easier to find campsites. About 30 minutes before I stopped I started dinner:

Bailing wired to the exhaust pipe:

30 minutes later and they're cooked to perfection. I grabbed some Ketchup and Mustard packets from Chik-fil-A before I left.

Anyone else done this before?

It's pretty naff to be honest, they look like frankfurters or savaloy so they're already cooked and only need warming up, now they're just burnt on one side. Bacon cooks better as it's flat and it can survive cooking on one side better than a sausage, it might be a good idea on a day trip where you don't carry any kit but otherwise i'll stick to a stove or a barbeque.

Still, given the question you pose in this thread and your 'dinner' using the disposable barbeque recently then i'm not surprised you didn't think of it Wink

I'm very tempted to try this, but I would want a bit more a permanent solution... like a small metal case with a lid welded on to the top of the exhaust with a plastic fairing so that it didn't cool down at speed.

Maybe the next time I'll go camping I'll just grab the tin foil and see what happens Smile

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Having a bit of a think on this theme, I'm wondering how easy it would be to set up some kind of Kelly Kettle affair to boil water on the exhaust, even if it's as simple as strapping a tin can to the headers. After a run, there might be enough latent heat in the pipes for a brew so you could pull up, fill the can and have a cuppa with your second fag.

Might have to experiment with this one Smile

That is an ingenious idea. Thumbs Up

Going to try this some.

As said above, would probably be better with bacon than sausages right enough.

Judging by Gazz's 'Are we taking too much stuff?' thread, it's catching on Wink

Awesome idea. Would've thought it would be easier to do it on top of the engine, especially on an IL4 - lots of space, stop half way to turn them over...

All you would need is a flip front Wink

Shows just how efficient engines really are doesn't it. They can cook food faster than a cooker drawing the maximum amount of current possible to get out of a domestic electric system. Maybe we should be looking for some way to store up the heat and covert it to energy using thermo couples? Hmm, might have found myself a project Razz

Ratbikers have been doing it better and for longer as usual...Cool
Inside the collector box is a sealed off compartment for cooking.

Or inefficient considering all that energy you want to put into going forwards gets thrown out as heat.
