gsfish said:$270 on Amazon and good reviews on their site. I'm a little wary of a review that talks about baking a cake with this thing though. I personally wouldn't care for the cooking in a tube aspect but to each their own. It's not like it would be easy to cook a pot of chili where you would want to stagger cooking times for different ingredients or give it a stir every now and then. Of course, there are tradeoffs in everything.

I believe I'll continue with wood and propane until I can't get either.
surfer said:Hey Off Grid,
do I understand correctly that the lens is on a pivoting stand that shines lite on the mirror that reflects the lite to the bottom of the pan that is hung on an adjustable tripod? And the closer the pan is to the mirror the higher the temp? Any other clues on how to make this work; video, instructable, diagram?
To all,
Check out your nearest Dollar Tree. I bought an 8x10 lens just before the RTR. Yes, for $1. Might work?
GOTTA MAKE THIS WORK!
jimindenver said:The lens set ups I normally see are huge, so are the parabolic dishes. In solar be it PV, heating or cooking, footprint is king. A small lens can start a fire it is so hot but so can a match. use either to try to cook with and it's gonna take a long time. you have to collect and concentrate a lot of light to do any good quickly. Use a big enough one and it is pretty much like cooking on a stove.
