1 gallon solar cooking tube
« on: August 25, 2017, 12:04:47 PM »
 Stumbled on to this the other day. Ebay has a couple of inserts that go into the tube such as pans. Cool idea.

Interesting idea. I wonder how it works as compared to the parabolic dish type cookers

Its an evac tube type cooker.



The main drawback of the evac tube types is there's not a lot of space in them.  Saw them first as hot water system back in the early 00's.
