Try the foil containers they use some places for takeout with the paper lids, they stand up better.

take an aluminum pie pan and fold it around lunch and tie a piece of bailing wire around runner on manifold loose enough to get the lunch in then bend wire down to hold it. the pie pan and wire will last several days :)  crude but it works ;D

I never found a copy of it, but there is a book called Manifold Destiny, I think, about cooking with your vehicle. From what I understand, it got pretty involved, like cooking turkeys and big stuff like that.  :D

The racks they sell for cooking burgers over campfires are handy too, or make a basket out of steel mesh

On the old Cummins log truck I would put a can of classic chicken . Lay it down on the oil cooler unopened . After 50 miles lunch was served . Never got hot enough to bulge the can .

Actually...a can of beanie weanies can "explode" under the hood. Yeah, you know how I found that out.  :D
Never blew one up on the skidder though. Just under the hood of a dump truck.

I remember cooking wieners on the manifold, we stopped at a gas station to borrow the wire cutters we had forgotten to bring. The kid asked what we were doing and I told him lunch. The look on his face was priceless, he declined our offer to share. ;D

In college, we would "roast" our hot dogs with a short power cord.. Wrap the stranded wire ends to a couple 8d or 10d nails and stick in each end of the dog. Plug it in to 110 and watch it cook... quickly.
We were not permitted to have any kind of hot plate, toaster oven, microwave, popcorn maker or the like in the dorm. Only an electric clock and radio permitted. Didn't say anything about short power cords with loose ends. ;)

I'm surprised these things had been invented way back then.
