Jan 23 2008Roadkill Cooker: The Exhaust Burger Grill
You stuff the one of the open ends of the Exhaust Burger into your tailpipe, and then drive around while the heat of your exhaust cooks a burger. I know exactly what you're thinking -- "why didn't I think of that?". I'll admit I was a little miffed I didn't come up with it either. It was actually designed by an Iranian team (amazing it took a team of people to develop and not just one drunk scribbling on a bar napkin) and no fumes actually come in contact with your burger (allegedly). The hot exhaust fumes just warm up the metal to cook the meat. However it looks like it only heats one side, so you may have to stop at a gas station and flip you meat. Now I've heard of cooking on a hot engine before, but never cooking by exhaust. And I must say, I think this invention is a glimpse of a very bright future. And by 'bright future' I mean what the hell is the matter with these people.
Another picture of the device installed in a tailpipe after the jump.

They should just call it "carcinogen"

wouldn't the damn thing fall off the car the first time you hit a pothole

I'm convinced that this will kill people. And you'll have a bunch of idiots driving around the block a few times just to grill a burger. damn.

That's revolting. I hope this is a joke.

You say that like it's a bad thing, blackbullet...
Is that the sound of banjos playing the funeral dirge? Hyuk!

You don't actually have to "drive" to have the engine turned on...they look stackable, so you could host your own bbq and have a line of about thirty of these.
I guess this is a team of Iranians who went to podunk county somewhere in the south (or Florida) and saw people having these things home-made...they decided they could make it better and make a profit out of it, not bad.

I think that's the same design team that is working on their nuclear program.

this will contribute to Global Warming.
And will make undercooked meat more widespread.
Silly Iranians.

Yes, same scientists who developed their pseudo neuclear program...haha...but thats not it, they are coming up with more devices like an electric over that can be installed on top of your car and runs with solar energy...

guate6 - correct, you don't "have" to drive to cook the burger, but it seems even more stupid to run the car in the driveway, burning extra gas (currently $2.90/gal in NJ) to cook a burger, when the stove or grill would be more efficient. I think the concept is that you load the thing up when you leave work, and when you get home you've got a tasty dinner waiting for you (unless it fell out when you hit a pothole).

@13 I see your a fellow Dirty Jersian. I think this would sell great south of exit 70 in NJ.
15. damn luddites - January 24, 2008 10:53 AM
north jersey. they would also sell great in Sussex county - think south jersey, but with mountains instead of bogs.
that's right, I said mountains. I don't care if they're less than 2000 feet above sea level, to us they are mountains dammit!

Shinanigans. I call fake.

FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! He said it! It's like flashbacks to 'Nam, man!
18. guate6 - January 24, 2008 4:38 PM
Damn luddites: I meant more so that this is probably marketed for the less fortunate who can't afford a stove, grill, or other appliance. This is great for the people who drive around in the old '82 Broncos (or another redneck vehicle of your choice) and who live in tents or trailers. They may even attach it to their tractors...who knows, maybe the use kerosene engines, which is less expensive, and do it that way.
19. damn luddites - January 24, 2008 4:42 PM
gaute6: can't afford a stove, but they can afford gas for their car. yeah, that makes sense.
20. LovelyLatinaFromTheSouth - January 24, 2008 5:04 PM
gaute6: you're a f*cking moron. is your head attached to an exhaust pipe?
Damn luddites: you rock!

uhmmmm.... wouldn't all the grease drippings eventually make the route back to the owner's house a slick ride? the pavement is going to be slick as hell. wtf?
WTF NASA!!???
