My guess is that this is the BIG clue to engine cooking. The old air-cooled
vans are sealed off from the under side of the car, to keep the right temp
in the engine. Make a small compartment that is in direct connection with a
hot area (muffler) and make some kind of lid on it, to keep it out of the
free air flow, and I guess your food would be cookin'.
