Sweet!!!
I saw one like that at the Memphis International Barbecue Festival one year - only it was made out of a freight train diesel engine. The top was raised and lowered by hydraulic rams. Yeah, it was a corporate-sponsored team. The Fedex team had a 10-foot long cooker made to look like one of their jets, and another team had a 16-foot tall, anatomically correct male rabbit as their cooker. I'll let you guess where the smoke came out.

Cool Cooker! But for simplicity, you can't beat the 'ol reynold's wrapped burrito on the exhaust manifold, or whatever canned food product you have available when primitive camping! Admit it, some of you have done this before...
...hmmmmm, what's that smoky flavor I detect....Castrol 15/40?

Jim, early 70's I had a 1972 F250 Ford and a cab/over camper. I wrapped a small roast in about 40 feet of aluminum foil, threw it on the exhaust manifold and hauled my boat to the Parker Strip (Colorado River)
When I got there, dinner was ready and, it didn't taste like motor oil, if fact, it was outstanding.

Remembering what the Parker Strip was like in the 70s, I'm bettin' that roast wasn't served with milk!
I've run the entire Colorado (less the Grand Canyon) from Lake Powel all the way south to Imperial Dam (a bit north of Yuma). Below that, the water is only ankle deep. Thanks for the memory jog!
