We used to cook dinner for an entire squad by putting it next to the exhaust manifold of a M113 APC.

Ah the taste of C rats cooked on a F-105 start cart, brings a tear to my eye and a hack from my lungs.

In the comments of the original article, someone notes that they used to boil water for tea this way: fill the cooling jacket with clean water, fire a couple hundred rounds into no-man's land, and presto! -- hot water.

Personally, I think I enjoy the cognitive dissonance of machine-gun-prepared tea over machine-gun-cooked bacon.

It's the British Way

You just can't have a war without regular access to tea after all.
