Solar Powered Oven

[Wirednot]

I have no skin in the game here- just passing along something new to me and that I thought was pretty cool. I was invited to review this, and have cooked several things in it since. It works very well. https://wirednotrec.wordpress.com/2022/10/21/gosun-sport-solar-oven/

Well that looks interesting. Not much of a cooking area however. I have used one of the small kids home diy things and it took forever. This does look like it can cook fast

If you pack it right, supposedly holds three pounds. It does get up to almost 500 degrees in there. Did a pack of Italian sausage in about 45 minutes in full sun, FWIW. I know there are other solar ovens out there, but I haven’t seen any of them up close myself.

Wonder if it will do popcorn?

Theoretically it should, but the temp builds up at it’s own pace and the chamber would probably only give a serving at a time. But now I gotta try it!

L.L. Bean sold them in the way back...also for use by camp fires.

My first thought was "I wonder how well this would work as a campfire reflector oven?" I have had mediocre success with other commercial options.

Not solar powered, but the old scout reflector oven is usually a part of our larger group canoe trips.

They're more expensive than they used to be, but still worth it.

I have used one of those. I didn't like all the spring clips, but it worked pretty well. I am thinking about purchasing one of these (below) and seeing if I like it any better. The self-contained folding aspect is why I switched my stick stove to a Firebox from a tab-style unit. Just dead simple to set up, especially in the cold.

Reflector Oven

Svante Freden - Reflector Oven Handmade In Sweden and can cook a wide variety of food on your camping trip. It folds flat to slip easily in your portage pack. This oven will fit 9" round pans or skillets and 10" rounds partially hanging out. Reflector ovens bake more evenly when pans are...

Canoeing, eh? My son and I do a bit of that. Maybe we should attempt to link up some time.

Started canoe tripping after my son graduated. Hiked a bunch before that, but got into paddling even more when I started going with a former co-worker.

Would be happy to make a paddling acquaintance, especially in my neck of the woods.
