The "Solar Baby 2 " Solar Oven.

This is a larger version of The Solar Baby that was in another instructable i did a while back.  This one cooks better than the last one and can cook larger meals. It seals better and has better insulation. It has the curved back and pivoting sun finding system same as the Solar Baby.The hinged lid/reflector has removable pins and can be removed and inverted over the oven for a smaller stowage area which makes it good for RV ing  The size of your oven depends on the size of the tempered glass you have.

Step 1:

     I have cooked many meals on this oven while traveling. It cooks a great loaf of bread, I can cook a whole chicken in a couple hours. Keeps over 300 degrees on a sunny day. Easy to open, just lock pin in upright position and open.

Nice design. How hot was the weather when you were getting 300 degrees temperature and how long did it take?

[aleutianwind]

thanks, When I was in Arizona it got up to 140 degrees when it was 85 outside. In washington at 70 degrees I still got 300 to 325 on a sunny day.

Sorry that should read 340 degrees in Arizona.

how many babies can u cook at once

[crapsoup]

my record is 13. 19 if you count the ones i had on the dehydrator. But it took a lot of prep work.

Comments like this make me sick! You are obviously full of bull. Old pennywise wanted to know how many can you cook at once. To answer your question, I would imagine only one unless we are talking about premies then possibly two.

Excellent craftmanship. Keep bringing good things our way!
I can see you really give some thought to your projects.

Question how does the Gorrilla glue hold up to the heat?

[aleutianwind]

Thanks. The Gorilla glue has been working great for this project. The glue isn't in contact with any of the heat.

A fresnel lens in the top of the reflector should really heat things up.
