Yes, you can cook on your engine!! And it tastes fantastic!! See the picture at left of the chef with his creation, which literally took miles of effort.
This method of cooking is perfectly safe! Plus, if you get into traffic near the game, you can smell the shrimp cooking. This is great because you’ll have hot food immediately upon arrival, without waiting to fire up the grill.
