I'm glad I stumbled onto this video because a lot of the solar ovens on the market are huge, and I need something small that I could put outside in an apartment parking lot that I could place far enough away from cars driving in, and out.
I’ve made a number of “Jimmy-rigged” sun ovens, and it’s always a trial and error process, but I’ve never gotten one over 375•! That’s very impressive! The only thing I don’t care for about that design is that you can’t put a casserole dish or a Dutch oven into that kind of solar oven.
@@HomesteadinHawaii could you bake bread in it? Muffins? Or maybe just baguettes? 🤔 I also like using mine for veg stew, chili, and other things that I used to use a crockpot for. I don’t know if those things would work with that deign, but I’m curious!
@@TheQueenOfDreams we just fill up the tube, so like you said, baguettes, long brownies or cakes shaped like snakes, etc, stew and chilli would cook really well!
I lived many years off the grid in a home-made straw bale in AZ. In Costa Rica now, which is great, but on the grid, so there was some adapting. Looking to sell our CR place and move onto our 3 acre land in Kula Kai, go backoff the grid. So much simpler. @mybluedoor if you want to see our Costa Rica project. Peace, brother John
My goal is to go off grid again, but I didn't like driving anymore was the main thing. I can ride my bike to the beach now, I have more land, better neighborhood, I just need to get the water catchment going again, solar power and my garden. My off grid place pays for this place so it was hard to pass up

Good stuff. Never run the oven empty or warm it up prior to adding food!
Preheating is for suckers

Instead you just put it straight in the tube. I think that’s why it works so well, less mass more spread out

very cool product.... excellent demo ..... they don't care about humans ......
I love my solar oven! We should all own one
The cookers i build from free internet plans work just fine and are not difficult or expensive to build !
I have never had success with them, best I could do was gooey muck after 3 hours, this oven can cook rice in 30 minutes
You should do a video for us. This one seems crazy that it takes 1-2 hours to cook your dinner.
I saw a different one that cooks in 20 mins full Sun.
@@LJ-zk9iw 20 minutes? ! How ?!
@@LJ-zk9iw i think 20 minutes is for cooked cereal like oatmeal
I hope to make my own solar oven…probably 6x of the big cylinders.
Good luck. I’ve never made a homemade one that worked too well.
thanks Sean!
good luck with your transition back into normal grid life!
It’s been hard😩

Cool. I love it.
These ovens are the best
Dude, i bet you could cook a calazone in there.
You could and in fact, I'll have to try that
Why would you go from living offgrid to moving onto the grid?

@@HomesteadinHawaii so you have both properties and the original is paying for the new spot?
I love it
We do too!
Is that a Norfolk pine chillin in the background?
It is. That’s our Christmas tree
Mahalo!
BRO NOW I'M HUNGRY DANG
