I have a box-style cardboard solar oven which I've used for years for granola and beans and even a pie now and again. However, it's bulky to haul out just to heat soup for lunch. Research led me ...

The insight for this project came from two community members: Mintyhippo and pepi. Special thanks to them. I became interested in solar cooking a few months ago. Having surfed several solar cooking sites, I decided to make a solar cooker. This one turned out to be rather efficient. It ...

Please tell me what you think and please also make a better version. Especially useful would be a 3d version of this video.
