Flat round metal feed pan and 1/2 a bag of match light charcoal. Todays cars might be too low and too plastic for this but it works on 4wd pickups.
I was working 3rds at a local full service gas station at the time I had the freeze up.
Had I known of the problem the car would have been in the bays and a customer car left out in the cold so to speak but I was not aware.
I cut up some boxes and slid a small metal skid under the nose. Started the boxes on fire and used other boxes to block the wind as it was a nasty weather day.
It did not take long if memory serves. The 413 Max wedge rumbled to life and after a good warm up I got it to my dads heated garage.
The heater core was frozen up as well.
I doubt todays cars would survive this treatment.
