1995 e300d (606)

Early trip tomorrow morning. Does anyone know of a way to toast a bagel on the engine or over the muffler? I'll be departing at 3:15 a.m. and arriving at around 5:30. I would be a hero if I produced a crispy warm bagel. I would expect to use alum. foil. I think loosely wrapped bagel halves resting against the exhaust manifold might just do it. How about it?

I think a few of you are having a laugh!!
First Sev, & now you !! Put it down near the exhaust side if the turbo. Or better still get a propane camping stove & stop just down the road, cook up some bacon & eggs, hot coffee & arrive eating!!

I think this cooking on the manifold is probably limited to canned foods. Thats if the manifold is designed in such a fashion to enable it. Especially at speed.

You may have a blown out bagel otherwise. The air velocity at 60-75 mph is probably substancial under the hood. Mounting a metal container somehow on the manifold and filling it with water and inserting the soup or whatever can into it. Plus knowing how long to leave it in the container might produce results.

The heating action will not exceed 212 degrees until the water is gone. Just a matter of timing. I thought April the first had passed.

look for a book called something like jeep cookbook or something. I know it's out there, it's all stuff you can cook on your engine

the manifold is the best place for heat. the turbo can be a little too hot. all depends the time of year. the exhaust manifold is under the intake, so might be a problem for heat, or where to mount it.

I use to heat chunky soup and other canned things on the dump trucks at work, and would have warm to hot items for lunch. depended how hard the engine was working.

some of the guys would wrap a potato in tin foil, bury in down into a load of hot asphalt at the batch plant. and by the time they got to the job site, it would be cooked. that stuff is like 350deg when dropped in the truck.

I had a can of Chunky Campbells soup almost explode one time. had it right next to the turbo on a Detroit Diesel. one guy did have a can of spegetti blow, made a mess.

I guess on the MB, wrap the bagel in tinfoil, place at the back of the turbo by the down pipe might work. that would be the most heat. make some kind of bracket to mount it too.
