Making "Heaven's Flame" Solar Cooker

We've been following the solar cooking craze all Summer, and if you hadn't noticed the end of Summer is fast approaching. We suggest if you can't buy a solar cooker, you may want to build your own.

We found a site called, "Back Woods Home", which has all the details on how to get beyond more traditional cooking method and go FULL SUN. The best thing about building your own solar cooker? All you need to do is get some card board boxes, glue, and other things around the house and you're good to go.

Solar Sizzler

We've been covering solar ovens, cookers, and grills for the entire Summer, and you have to love this Solar Sizzler not only for the name but also for the couple in the pictures. I've never seen two people have more fun cooking in the Sun. It mounts on a camera tripod and comes apart so that you can fit it in a knapsack and take it camping. Best of all? It doesn't cost $400 clams - only $50 bucks for this solar flare wonder!

TAMMOCK Trading Solar Grill

We've been doing a fair amount of reading in the area of Solar Grills. A solar grill is the perfect addition to your outdoor kitchen and can barbecue fish, chicken, GIANT steaks, and yes - even vegetables. The Solar-Grill has a flexible mirror, which focuses the sun beams on the barbecue cup allowing it to heat up. Your meal is cooked in the self contained barbecue cup an heated evenly from all sides, without direct irradiation by sunlight.

Update:The Tammock site now has an order form for those who want to purchase their own solar grill.
