There's really no excuse for not having decent chow on board. I always used to pride myself on how well the racing crew got fed using just a one burner SeaSwing propane stove. The secret is to make it all up in advance and freeze it into plastic bags holding one meal each. Throw the frozen bags into the cooler and that helps to keep the soda cold as well. There is a grocery story chain in Des Moines that has dry ice pellets for two bucks a pound. There is a vending machine. Ice cream for the first couple of days. I wouldn't think the stuff is very hard to find. Casady Around here we can only buy dry ice in chunks of 25 pounds or bigger... I wish we had vending machines like yours, wet ice is a mess on a race weekend. I usually go through 6-10 bags on a typical weekend, two days out in a campground and travel time on each end of the trip. Scotty Our Safeway is now carrying it in small chunks out of a cooler in the store. Call your local grocery stores.

Scotty I don't believe there is such a thing, unless it's got electric power. A Mr. Coffee will keep it hot for 24 hours, if you leave it plugged in. Acually, it's a lot better after about 12 hours, 24 might be a little long. Yeah, I spent the last two summers with dozens of coffee drinkers every day and nobody I saw had any 24 hour thermos. I have a nice Carafe but as soon as you start replacing coffee with ambient air inside, it cools off fast.. Scotty |

Scotty You need one of these: http://www.bigfrogmountain.com/Engel%2040.html It will pay for itself quickly if you're buying a lot of ice. They run on either 12 volts or 110, freezes or refrigerates. |

Scotty- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If you get a good one that is made for camping, they'll hold coffee hot for 24 hours. Think I got mine at REI. First there was the Nippon Oxygen Company. Then there was Nissan made in Japan, then made in Singapore, Now it is Nissan Thermos made in China. There are two sizes, one pint and 61 0z. We have started the permanent downhill slide to the mediocre life. The good stuff is disappearing from the market, their makers are going broke. Go to the Thermos Nissan web site.$43.99. 61 oz. Detachable shoulder strap, a nice feature. There ia a small one on ebay buy it now 14.99. There is a new large one ebay 26.96. Go for it. Casady |

The manifold is water cooled unlike a air cooled truck manifold that gets hot. You would barely be able to keep a cup of coffee hot. [My race car, the headers glow yellow at full power.] You would have to go to a lot of work, but if your motor is cooled with 220F[or hotter] glycol you can cook with it. The manifold would get hotter, how much I don't know. Maybe enough hotter to cook some things. Casady Casady |
