the cauldron solar cooker
dear sci,
included are a few pictures of my solar cooker: one picture of
the cauldron being used for its original purpose, two of the cauldron being used
as part of a solar cooker, and one picture of a delicious
vegetarian meal i cooked in the solar cooker.
my solar cooker is made of a large iron cauldron that i have used in the past over a fire. while reading your groups website about constructing a parabolic cooker i thought that my cauldron would probably work well as a solar cooker. it certainly does.
next, i lined the cauldron with aluminum foil and finally topped it off with a piece of plexiglas. the black pot that i cook meals in easily reaches 250�f and usually reaches around 300�f.
the solar cooker i made cost me practically nothing. i bought
the cauldron many years ago, the plexiglas was recycled scrap from a previous
job and the aluminum foil only cost a few cents.
with warm regards,
mr. lance willard
