this solar cooker makes cooking outdoors quick, fun, and easy plus think of all of the money you will save on propane due to the fact that it is 100% sun power no propane [=

Step 1 What you will need

- Aluminum foil
- Glue (i used Elmers)
- Handsaw
- Tripod (any flowerpot tripod will work)
- Drill
- Tape measure
- Pen or pencil
- Scissors
- Brush

Excellent build! I have a stack of Mylar bags waiting to get turned into one of these. I was inspired by the descripton of the "Sunbrella" in "Cooking With The Sun" by Beth & Dan Halacy, but have been procrastinating. Something about the garage being 100+ degrees half the year make projects get put on hold. We often have burn bans due to high fire danger, but solar cookers are still allowed so this would be great for camping and cookouts.

Excellent idea, but is there any chance of larger images?

A great idea, and looks like you've done a good job of making one... however the instructable could use a lot of work. Mainly it needs more pictures and more details, but also a little copy-editing for grammar and punctuation, etc.
