Time now to build a solar oven aka Gord’s Gumbo Cooker.
Sure, it’s only a plan and I don’t know how to make gumbo, but the workshop will be a busy place for a few days.
I’ll keep you posted.

What is gumbo anyway? It sure sounds good.

Live Small and Prosper: Plans for Gord’s Solar Oven... and gumbo!
Birdhouses are done for 2009. (Except for delivery to the shops).
Time now to build a solar oven aka Gord’s Gumbo Cooker.

I'm very interested to hear how your cooker works out! I cobbled together one last summer in a hurry but could only get it up to about 300 degrees, for part of the day. I hope you have better luck!
Theresa,
300 degrees sounds very good. Because I still have hockey and other projects lined up I think I'll have something in two weeks.
300 degrees is not my target... and beyond?
Cheers,
Gord
I just remember that I was not able to completely cook even cut up vegetables after many many hours in the sun on a hot day, so maybe it was even less than 300 degrees? At any rate, I hope you have better luck with your gumbo!
Hi Theresa,
My last comment to you should have read "300 degrees is now my target." Can I get beyond 300? Maybe not with a homemade model.
Cheers,

Mr. Harrison,
I think it looks good. Me and my class are going to do something like this. But with the money we earn we give free solar ovens to refugees.

Hi Clarissa,
Thanks for your interest in solar ovens and for visiting "It Strikes Me Funny" by G.Harrison. Solar ovens do work well in Arizona, not so much in Canada where I live. However, I have learned they can be made cheaply, or for nothing, and last for a long time. Also, if you put a solar oven on a table, place it also upon a "Lazy Susan", so you can turn it to face the sun easily.
I wish you and your class well,
G. Harrison
