Car-Converted Cookers

The Exhaust Burger Grills Slabs of Meat While Driving

— September 21, 2012 — Art & Design
It is not uncommon for someone to find themselves on the road and starving, hence the slew of fast food restaurants in easy driving range, yet the Exhaust Burger could very well become a serious competitor. It is a special attachment for the exhaust pipe of a car. Not only does it feed the smoke through, the Exhaust Burger also cooks, well, burgers.

Designed by Roohollah Merrikhpour, Mina Mirzahossein, Narges Alam, Hani Saghaiyan, Elmira Manafnejad, Sanaz Ghaem Maghami and Navvab Bahreyni, all of whom hail from Iran, the Exhaust Burger was submitted to Design Boom's Dining in 2015 contest. A unique concept, to say the very least, the Exhaust Burger may seem very practical to some and not at all to others.
