JohnE, the only person who gave anybody short shrift on this thread was Philip.

Actually, solar ovens will work under just about any lighting conditions in open country, the issue being simply a matter of scale. How big of a collector can you make? Did you know you can cook a turkey by the light of a full moon?

As with all such physical phenomena, success depends on the prudence of the application. Sometimes it's a solar cooker, sometimes it is seal blubber.

I'm still holding out for that portable geo-thermal steam oven...hey, it's just a matter of how deep a hole you can dig.

Good points benjammin. The geothermal steam oven works well here.




Thanks for the input Phillip. Any solution depends on the conditions. This is one more tool in the kit. One I probably would not have thought of without the helpful suggestion.

That's pretty cool, thanks for posting it Phillip! I'm going to give it a try, it's always good to have another tool in the toolbox!
