COOKING WITH AUTO EXHAUST

Meals can literally be cooked on the run through the use of an automatic cooker described in Modern Mechanics (Minneapolis, June). We read:

“The cooker is mounted on the rear bumper of the motor tourist’s car, and an extension from the exhaust pipe connected up with it, as shown in the insert. The cooker contains a steam-pressure kettle, which is heated by the hot exhaust gases. An hour’s drive is quite sufficient to thoroughly cook meats and vegetables. Total weight of the unit is so slight that running qualities of the car remain quite unaffected. Motor tours are much more pleasant when one is assured of a well-prepared meal at the end of the trip.”
