Parabolic solar cookers can make your life easier when camping. Here’s what to know about solar cooker types and benefits.
Solar Cookers, Ovens, and Stoves: Comparing The Options Solar cooking has been getting a lot of good press in the last months, and for good reason! Solar cooking is a great idea for anyone looking to reduce their fuel use, keep their kitchen cool or find a more convenient alternative to a conventional stove. Luckily, if you're searching for a solar cooker, you now have more options than ever. From an oven that can bake a Turkey, to a stove that can cook a meal under clouds and snow, the technology of solar cookers has come a long way since your grade pizza box oven! Comparing stoves is like picking a car; each model excels for certain uses and but may fall short in others. In fact, it's common for solar chefs to combine technology to meet the needs of their situation and environment. In order to demystify the options, we have created a comparison looking the most popular solar cookers on the market. Due to the nature of the comparison, we have compared cooker types rather than models, with exception to the GoSun solar cooking devices which have no parallels. Consider a few key questions before exploring your options of solar cookers: Do you have good continuous sunlight where you intend to cook? Are you willing to change cooking habits to adapt to a new technology? Do you plan on using the stove daily or just on occasion? Will you use your cooker at home or for on-the-go adventure?

As an introduction, my wife, Denise, and I have been playing with solar cookers and ovens for awhile. Denise built a wooden one with a shop teacher, many years ago, when she was a Home Economics Teacher in Switzerland. The inside of the box was painted black. It worked well and the students had fun with it. We built one of the ovens from a cardboard box with the glass in the top, but it just wasn't durable. We also have two "Hot Pot" solar cookers and we really like those. If you are intereste

We're supposed to have sun for the rest of the week, but it's never good to take chances with the weather. So, when the sun came out today, we hit the ground running with three solar thermal projects at once. This time, instead of working with complicated, photovoltaic, solar panels, we experimented with harnessing the heat of the sun to expand air, purify water, and turn a pinwheel. Each project was simple to put together, and provided easily observable results, but with lots of little details that could be tweaked, adjusted, or expanded. Really I had a hard time deciding which one to write about first, finally settling on the simple solar chimney, or updraft tower we found archived on the National Research Counsel Canada website. The chimney is made by taping together three, large, empty, clean tin cans, with the tops and bottoms removed. A wire arch (made from an unbent paper clip) is taped across the opening of the top can... ...with a thumbtack, or straight pin, taped to the center of the arch, pointing up. The chimney is placed on top of a couple of books, to allow air to flow in from underneath. Finally a pinwheel - made by cutting diagonally in from the corners of a 6 inch square sheet of paper, to within a quarter inch of the center, bending the every other point from the corners to the center, and taping them in place... ...is balanced on top of the thumbtack, taped side down. When placed in the sunlight, the heat from the sun will warm the air inside the cans, creating a convective updraft, and spinning the pinwheel. Questions for thought: What would happen if the tower was not on the books? Would a paper tower work in place of cans? Would pinwheels made of different materials, or in different sizes spin faster? What if the tower was painted black? Could enough power be generated by the spinning pinwheel to turn a generator?
