In a vehicle with a working motor I'd just strap it down somewhere in the engine compartment. It shouldn't take too long, I'm guessing maybe 15 minutes? I'd love to test this and come back with some numbers, but I think it's too late in this winter season. But you newer know, we might have more cold spells coming.


Or you may choose to include a stove with your vehicle kit.


You are overthinking this. If you have a running car engine and a frozen bottle of water, put the bottle on the dashboard or near a floor vent and crank up the heat and fan...much easier then strapping the bottle in the engine compartment.
