I used to cook my lunch everyday using my Concrete Pump Motor.

Am I the only one who used to do this? I would bring my lunch, big can of soup or a burrito or what ever and during the day an hour or so before I wanted to eat I would place my food on the pump engine and in-between loads I would bust out my hot food and have a great lunch. No I am not saying this is safe, could catch fire but if you do it right you can have a nice hot lunch each day. I hated a cold ham sandwich so this worked out just fine.

Heres a video of a guy who uses his car to cook. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHYaj3I9YAc

Now I know Vasa has a Microwave in his truck, sucks to be me. Vasa is the king.

A can of Raviolis and pizza in aluminum foil is the best motor cooked lunch. Make sure you bring a spoon.

I dont eat while im pumping. I'm too busy keeping the truck nice and clean and checking the truck for any problems in between trucks.

I'll usually eat before or after a job if I do eat. Most of the time I just eat when I get home though.

I have not pumped since the early 80's so this is a very old idea.

lol . longest job I've been on was 10 1/2HRs with 3hrs travel one way. So it was a 16hr day with 30 minutes at the end of the day to fuel up and water up. The only thing I do is make sure i'm hydrated. Other than having water or iced tea with me I usually dont eat while pumping.

I have had countless meals delivered to me on the job. Used to find it funny when I knew what I would have for lunch just by knowing where I was going to pour

@Todd I was always worried about the can blowing up like when you toss it in the fire... hha guess that wasnèt an issue..
