Cooking dinner in an '89 Camry

[Bill V]

Thought some of you might find this interesting--A couple of guys who travel around the country, cooking their meals on the engine block of their '89 Camry.



The video link on the linked page is better (but also weirder) than the text version...

I've been hearing stories like this for years. I remember when I was a kid watching people cooking on their motors and telling the best places to set the food so it would cook evenly and not fall out or get any oil leaks.

Okay, I can't be the ONLY person on here to have seen Red/Green.



They mocked this sort of thing multiple times, to mild humor.

The engine, "was designed for this," Dresser insists. "They have to have designed it to do this."

...yes guys, Toyota engineered the engine so that 2 aging hippies could have a campfire cookout on the go.

Dresser solved that one by running a radiator hose through the Camry's glove compartment. "It's our slow cooker, rice steamer, slash warming oven, in the glove box,"

When I hear "slash", besides the punctuation, the only things that come to mind are the guitarist and dubious alcohol....

I use to put my MRE's under the outboard motor cowling before they came out with the heat packs in them.



Worked great, was plenty warm by the time I was ready to eat 5 or 6 hours into my patrol...

Car-B-Que.

Cooked hot dogs on the headers of my 75 Stang and warmed the buns on the intake... Were cooked perfect and tasted great !!

KL,



If you are talking about the Red Green show, then no, you are certainly not the ONLY one who's ever heard of him...perhaps the only American to have heard of him though.

 

[Kevin Lang]

Yes Shaun, that's what I'm talking about. I've seen WAY too much of that show.



"Argh, it's the Great White Whale, Moby Richard!"

"Don't you mean Moby Dick?"

"Nay, I didn't know him that well!"



Canadian Home Improvement....



(Same with Red Dwarf, but that wasn't anywhere near as decent, as British Comedy is largely an oxymorn.)
