It was common practice back in the mines, to warm your lunch on the manifold of the diesel-powered air compressors. Some of us got pretty creative and made cooking vessels for placement on the engine, but they were'nt any good for anything more than warming stuff up... Did try baking potatoes, but they were kinda dried out after four hours on the manifold... seems ther was too much "wind" from the engine fan, pulling across the engine and out thru the radiator.
