I was looking into buying one of those lenses, that would sure save on matches when you have sunny days.

I was thinking, do you think (if you had a couple built large enough) that the idea for heating food could actually heat our homes if we built them 5 by 5 feet with reflectors and added a hose to the back and then into the house given how hot they get? I sorta wondered about that, why not use a larger built sunoven as a source of heat on cold sunny days, what do you think?

My freeking rooster (His name is Fred), starts up at 3am. sometimes, then he makes a racket all day long.... Arrrgh, If I weren't such a softie... He'd be supper!!! (btw. thanks for calf manna tip, she's starting to put on some weight. Unfortunately, I don't have stalls to separate them, so the others are getting to be butterballs.)

I use 2 Sun Ovens..one for boiling water for dishes and the other for cooking. I cooked beans and rice today. My beans took about 3 hours too cook but in TX I got up to over 300 today. You can tell when your dish is done usually cause it fogs up on the cover. I use a small amt. of water for the beans, then add more for the rice. Hey, make sure your beans get cooked. Beans, esp. kidney beans have a toxin that requires boiling as you probably know. Don't ask me how I found out!

Solar cooking is the one thing I have not gotten into yet, but that bean dish really looked good. Wow that lens worked quick!!! I could just see my kids getting a hold of it....I would end up homeless or the woods around me would be know more...lol. Thanks for sharing with us.
