The first tangible thing I missed when joining the EV crowd in the 40's degree days of Wisconsin "Spring" was the lack of heat. No longer did I warm at the stop-lights, and no longer can I reach down and hold the muffler to bring some heat into my gloves.

As Fall approaches and I see the roadside apple vendors peddling wares, I am reminded of the smells I miss.

No longer can I wrap a hamburger in foil and press it around the exhaust pipe, no more baked cinnamon apple slices sizzling while I ride, no hot potato nor even a sizzling hotdog can greet me at the rest stops anymore. Just body warmed pop-tarts from my coat pocket.

Adding a 12V cooker seems against the charter of manifold cooking.

I suppose we have time for a solar oven to warm a can of beans at the charging station, or we owe that diner some business for sharing power. But none of that greets me as I ride.

Damn that efficiency of electrics.

Perhaps microwave cooking would be the way to go.

Or Induction? I could warm my hands with the right gloves.. 
Switch to Ceviche?  Which would warm nothing.

Make the tank compartment a fridge would allow for some culinary adventures.
... but ice packs last longer than the battery anyway...
... and the Stirling from my Coleman works too well  (and cost too much) to tear down...

Alas the Era of cooking from waste heat is ending until we go fast enough for air compression/friction starts etching our headlamps.
