    Solar ovens and classes on solar cooking

    I just ran across this site a few minutes ago and found the products looked pretty appealing. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but the classes sound OK.

    A solar oven is high on my list of things I want to get done this year, just behind getting going with smoking meat.

    I'm slowly but surely still working on my Fresnel lens cooker.

    Sense last speaking of it....I got a lens out of a 70" rear projection TV.

    Have built the aluminum frames but not the stands.....might make them from wood.

    If you buy one I would highly recommend the Global Sun Oven. It's a true oven and not just a cooker. We researched solar ovens for along time before we bought one and after we got it... we love it and give it a five star rating. I could never build one with the quality and the ease of design is remarkable. Again... 5 Star and 4 Thumbs up!!!

    You don't need to be the strongest
    or the most intelligent to survive
    but by having the right tools and
    the adaptability of change
    is where you will prevail.

    Thanks for the review E. They want $288 for that one. How does that compare to the one you got?

    Two years ago we got ours for $225 and now your right... it's $280 but still worth it IMO.

    Here is one with more stuff included... it has a Dehydrating & Preparedness Accessory Package that I haven't seen before now.

    Best price I found was $259. But it had none of the accessories with it.

    I'd go for the no accessories... You can get the small roasting pots at wally-world for cheep... thats what we did.

    I'm glad you posted this. I had never heard, nor thought of these. I just recently replaced my old rear projection with a Plasma. Since I am still in an apartment, and the 56" TV is bigger than the stair well, I haven't tossed it yet. Looks like I have a good reason to take it down in pieces.

    It will have a polarized and the Fresnel taped together....just slice them apart...toss the polarized.

    When you carry it out in to the sun light....don't have it between you and the sun....
