Just put together the toasties at home, wrap in foil, and throw on the block/ manifold 15min before you want to eat it.

Back 20 years ago when I was laser grading irrigation paddocks up near Dirranbandi in Queensland we used to sit small cans of baked beans etc in the gap between the block and manifold of the Case Steiger 9180 (articulated tractor). The used to jiggle around and rub all the paper label off but never lost one. Some hot food at 2.30am was always something to look forward to.
