The MI tanks have no provision carrying infantry and for more than just the obvious reason of the existance and proliferation of modern mechanised IFV's in the US Army order of battle. That jet engine generates so much heat that any soldiers on the back deck would quickly be "Spam on top of the can".
Even an older AFV can generate mucho heat radiating from the vehicle's back deck. On an M551 A-1 Sheridan,we used this principle to cook our food. Not a friendly environment for an infantryman looking to hitchhike.
No separate stove needed at chowtime.
