Prep the Roast:

Season to Perfection:
- Sprinkle the roast generously with dry Good Seasons Salad Dressing mix or dry mushroom soup. Add salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a well-seasoned foundation for the journey ahead.

Wrap and Seal:
- Lay out a sturdy foundation for your culinary adventure by double or triple wrapping the roast in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Carefully crimp the sides to create a seal, preventing any precious liquids from escaping during the car-b-que process.

Strategic Placement:
- Position your foil-wrapped masterpiece on or against the flat part of the exhaust manifold or the hot section of the engine block. This strategic placement will leverage the engine’s heat to slow-cook the roast to perfection.

Arrival and Indulgence:
- As you reach your destination, unwrap the foil to reveal a tender, juicy roast, infused with the essence of your journey. Your on-the-road culinary masterpiece is now ready to be enjoyed, offering a unique twist to the traditional notion of a home-cooked meal.
Note:
This unconventional method is not universally applicable and works best with vehicles possessing the appropriate engine design.
