I could flame broil that.... my buddies get a big kick out of my slow stock Celica blowing flames from time to time.

So you could make alot of them in a hurry. Sweet
Yea, yes, I see it now... Rotary powered Burger Kings! We can flame-broil your whopper in one second at 9,000RPMs!

"Im sorry ma'am, it will just be a few minutes for your whopper, we have to replace a few apex seals on our broiler...oh and mazda is out, so its going to be 3 weeks...can I offer you a drink while you wait?"
Heck, that's not new at all. Lots of off roaders have wired cans of whatever to the exhaust manifolds to cook while driving. There was even an 'engine cookbook' written called 'Manifold Destiny'.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_Destiny_(cookbook)
In college, I worked at an auto paint store. A body panel delivery driver had us on his route. When he'd get to our store around noon, he'd open his hood, take his lunch off the manifold, unwrap it and eat.
When I was doing electrical work 15 years ago, we used to cook lunch with a PVC pipe bender. The whole job site would smell like a BBQ joint. Probably why I am 270#.
Have you ever cooked a hot dog with 110V. Stick a piece of #12 wire about a inch in either end. Then stick them in a receptacle. 30 seconds later, a nice warm cooked hot dog. Just ignore that coppery taste. It is boosting you mineral intake.
One time when I was working on my RX-7, I accidentally left a roast beef sandwich on the throttle body and drove it to and from the store. By the time I came home, I could smell it coming from the engine bay. I popped the hood and there was my sandwich, grilled to perfection with "13B" imprinted on one side. Damned tasty, too.
When I still worked as a lube tech usually the first car of the day would get a package of poptarts tossed on the valve cover while I did the oil change, and they would be toaster fresh by the time I dropped the car back down.
there was a guy on another local forum that worked in IT. he would bring a can of tuna for lunch every day, and pop it in his computer case when he got there in the morning, and by lunchtime it was warm and tasty.

I do this all the time, engine heat is perfect for reheating yesterdays pizza.

Oh god, I can imagine the smell from here. Why do people bring potentially bad smelling stuff to work to eat and make their co-workers suffer for it?

Wrap it in tin foil
I found a small piece of peanut butter toast sitting on top of the engine of my Micra once. Must've been a squirrel.

Genius!!!!
MMMM. Manifold burritos
A guy in my Jeep club had a little basket wired right above the exhaust manifold of his early CJ-5. He throw something in that before we started off and always had a nice, hot lunch by the time we stopped around noon.
