I want to cook bread and biscuits and crap outside for free. Can anyone recommend a good solar oven?

This one look good?

I would prefer not to pay a lot for that muffler.

Thanks.

We've used two of these for many years, most excellent.

Thanks Ironwing. Any idea how much those cost? I don't see its price listed right off hand, and it mentions financing, that does not sound good LOL.

Oh snap I found it, almost $500! Noooooooooo!!!!

It says unavailable so not sure how much it costs, but quick search found a bunch of options in the $200-$300 range.

looks like it's basically just a reflective film? You could probably experiment creating your own with foil paper or maybe aluminium ductwork. You basically want to create a parabola and put the food at the focal point.

Fine, I made this one for eight bucks. The necessary welding goggles will cost more than the cooker.

Is that just aluminum foil on a satellite dish? It looks like it works.

Yep, that's all there is to it. It is a bit of a pain as the dish has a tight focus so one has to keep adjusting it to the sun. The oven I linked above is way more better for long term use.

The dish runs hot.


but nothing compared to the Fresnel lens…

We used to do this in the 70s to get tan.

I heard you can melt rocks with TV fresnel lenses. Pretty crazy stuff.
