I bought a Sun Oven before realizing other options were available. It does get nice and hot, and it has a door that shuts on it. It also came with accessories that are useful. I haven't made much use of it because of time, but I am going to browse the cooking threads for ideas.

I'll be doing some solar cooking for the next three days. Chicken n rice. Pot roast n veggies. Sausage n veggies. Not necessarily in that order.
I use a basic kit from http://www.solarcookers.org/index.php because they help on a global scale. The kit I have from them is NLA except for the folding basic cardboard unit.

I have been using a Sport and Sun oven for three years and recently added the SunFlair. It is not the same as the first two but certainly get the job done given time. I think a folding kit is much better for the dweller than the oven due to the room they take to store. That said the oven are nicer and get hotter faster.
I hope to have a solar cook off at the next RTR to go along with my talk on solar cooking.

Good job!
We use a solar oven - we made it ourselves and documented the build process for anyone interested in doing the same. It works surprisingly well! And it's small enough to be portable.

I noticed the pots on these do not have lids. Do you have any issues with bugs? The big wooden one has a door over it So I am guessing it is bug free. But seeing the open pots in the one has me wondering. Did the lids come off just for pictures? Would you need to put on a screen or not?
No issues with bugs. Once the oven door is closed it is totally sealed. And no we didn't take off any lids for pictures - it's a baking tray (which are always open topped).

I just wondered it is fruit fly season here and it takes about 2 seconds for them to descend on anything left uncovered. this looks fun to try out.
