An old product that was designed to sit above the rear bumper and cook your food using exhaust gas.  Contrary to the article it didn't actually put exhaust gas in with your food, it just used the heat to cook the food which was in a separate compartment.

Its just like the heat exhangers on aircooled VW engines, the gasses dont actually go into the cab for the heating, the hot gas simply passes over a plate that divides the 2 sections.  That plate asorbs some of the heat which then inturn conducts the heat to the cool air on the other side of the chamber...

Still a little dodgy though if you got a hole in the dividing plate...

That burger one's pointless.

You'd need a quad exhaust to make it worthwhile . . . .
