Kidding, but not really, some years ago a guy had a cookbook out for meals to be cooked while driving, back when there was a bit more room under the hood. If you're into canned food, it wouldn't be that hard to do. Other wise the cooker you described would probably work just fine. You will not harm the wiring (let the smoke out from under the dash) as that is what the fuse is for, to blow before the wiring melts. Like others have said, not that big a deal to run a dedicated circuit just for the cookstove, it'd be handy for other stuff also.

They did that this year on the US Top Gear show. The dude with the jeep had his can of baked beans explode and destroy some wiring. So, as long as you stay away from canned goods, all is fine.
