Cause the oil to have near your food is NOT motor oil, cause the exhausts could kill the entire family reunion, cause it's incredibly wasteful.. and so on.
Motor oil? What are you cooking on, an early 2000s Subaru?
Not who you're replying to. But yeah, there's plenty of vehicles that old on the road. We're a couple, and we get by with just a single '06 Toyota Carola. So why not an old Subaru? Cars were better then! They have buttons!
Anyway, it definitely gets dirty enough in that engine bay that I wouldn't want food in there.
Cars are more complicated now, but generally safer and less prone to rust.
It was mainly a dig at Subarus because they are pretty widely known to have had head gasket issues.
Presumably you’d clean your engine bay first and make sure there are no fluid/exhaust leaks
I do not think we have the same idea of the process.
This is not running the car at the reunion to cook. This is cooking while driving to the reunion and using the waste heat. The process is similar to baking on a campfire.
Well your post mentions the engine bay.. Doesn't sound like a good idea anyway, imagine getting in the car and still having last week's food smell stuck to the interiors, or having some food or the entire pot fall on the floor..
