Reply With QuoteVery old concept, actually
Back in the 40's, some bright spark cam up with the idea of a "Car Roaster".
It was a largish tin box with top lid and a couple of trays inside. The idea was to put a leg of lamb in it, then vegies on top, shut the lid and hang it from the exhaust manifold.

As the majority of the roads at the time were poor, vehicle movement was slow and it would take one to two hours to get to your favorite picnic destination.
When you arrived, lunch was cooked and all you needed to do was light a fire and make the gravy.
I don't know who invented them and exactly where they we used. My Father told me the story, as his family and friends used them in South Australia.
