Elton's BBQ not sure how often you run into the problem, but while I was living in the UK we found it worthwhile to use a VPN to watch things back in the US. And now that we are back in the US we often use a VPN to watch region locked content that we enjoyed in the UK. I don't know of any free ones to recommend, but maybe someone else will. I pay a small fee for one for a year at a time because doing all the settings manually is too much for the wife when I'm out of town.

So... a meatloaf pan with 3-4 briquettes is not an uncommon thing to do in the harsh winters of Wisconsin. Now that block heaters are a thing, and typically easy to install, the charcoal solution isn't nearly as frequent. I know of many a tractor that would need some time with the pan, otherwise the oil was too thick to turn over the motor.Comment

This was back in the 70's but I still remember hearing it on the radio. NYC resident was heading out to the lakes north of the city for a day of fun with the family. Thought he'd get a head start and light the coals in his hibachi at home, pop it into the trunk and drive out of the city. Coals would be ready to go when he got there.

You know, I live in south Florida and even I wouldn’t do that. At least not without using a heat deflector!
Better yet, wouldn’t a heat LAMP be a better solution? You aren’t cooking ribs, just trying to heat things to above freezing.Comment

It wasn’t that uncommon decades ago up North to do something similar with diesel tractors in winter to get them to start. Not a lot of barns back then with electric.Comment

That guy could have at least cooked a couple hot dogs while waiting for the fire department...Comment

I'm sure people kludged their own versions of engine heaters and obviously still do from the story here, but it seems like there used to be purpose-made engine heater gadgets that you'd fill with coals or burning kerosene or whatever. The pans had a long handle that let you slide the pan under the engine and a perforated cover to keep things under control. I can't find any examples, but I'd swear my grandpa had something like that.Comment

He should have wrapped it when it hit the stall.Comment

You know, it's not a completely stupid idea. Though I probably woulda used the charcoal to heat some bricks or something to put under the car
