Add some flavor, make spyder dogs with blood drippings Windsor style !!!

Take Hot dogs (tube steaks) and cut the ends towards the centre, leaving the centre 1/3 of the dog un cut. As it cooks the slivers of the dog shrivel up making it look like a spyder. Add some ketchup as blood and serve.

I do this all winter during hunting and fishing season. Reheat home made breakfast burritos and carne asada burritos. Do chili's and soups all kinds of differnt stuff. Its amazing how it has its own flavor.

I wouldn't dare think to put food on a motor that clean. I would be afraid of getting hot dog slime or rib sauce on it. I won't post it, but I think my motor would have a very different flavor and not in a good way.

No kidding. I'd be worried that plastic cover would melt. And no, I don't do this.

I would be worried about the plastic too. Maybe wrap in foil? Do you put the food on there for a period of time when the engine is running or do you just put it on there when you park after running for a while?

I'm pretty sure he's doing it while just sitting there. Those manifolds would melt the plastic for sure when running hot. I second the foil trick, I've seen guys do that before. Hell we do that on the trail in our jeeps.

We've heated food for years at work that way. On the engines of our work trucks. Your right that the foil is the ticket.

Yea foil is the way to go, and I do it when we a driving around the lake in the boat and when driving in the truck or car.

I've never cooked on a motor before but I might give it a try. Usually do cold sandwiches for lunch but on some of these colder days with the cold water it might be nice to have some warm food. Great idea for hot food on the water.

Alright, who's gonna be the first one to take a pic of them roasting a pig over an open engine hatch? :D

Convert the engine to propane, run open headers and a simple gear reduction unit off the prop shaft for turning the spit.... MMMM

Really Guys The motor runs at about 150 to 160 and that’s not hot enough to most melt the plastic. There is one spot rite beside the carb under the choke that gets purity hot stay away form that. I’ve cooked pork loin ( 3hrs), ribs 2hrs , hot pockets, little smokes, rap up Kentucky fried chicken in a cooking bag . Your buds will freak when you handem a piece of chicken that’s to hot to handle in the middle for the day. Tin foil doesn’t work very well it falls apart and makes black marks a double cooking bag works grate. You just need to seal things up tight.

Maybe up in Oregon, but with the water temp at near 75 degrees in the summer here, our boats run steady at 180-190 range. :D

I'll stick with the cold sandwiches, pasta salad, potatoe salad, etc. It sounds like a cool idea to be able to cook on the boat, but I couldn't bring myself to take a chance getting my perty motor all dirty like an oven! :cool:

I was beginning to think about some whole chickens. ;)

We run a bit warmer here in OK, even than haugy mentioned. In the summer our water is more like 90's. Right now our water is in the low 70's...feels so refreshing. I wish it would be like that in the summer.

Good ol' muffler meat. :D

I usually prefer to dock off at a bar/grill on the water and eat.

You suck lol. Water here is a balmy 53. It was 41 or 42 when we got in it the first time this year. Water last year at Powell was 88. I like that much better. Oven (engine) roasted chicken sounds good. I'd like some baby red roasted potatoes with that too please.

Perfect water temp for me is between 70 and 80. I don't like it when our water gets in the 90's out here...feels like bath water.
