I can almost smell that roast from here !

How many times did you have to reposition your fresnel lens setup ?

Thanks !

so that fresnel lens out of a tv, its just the 'glass' screen that one can touch? is it in every tv?

[fencekid]

@ophuichus2012 the one you can touch is a protective cover that protects the fresnel lens behind it. They are in all projection screen TVs, but some are thicker and clearer than others. I found one in a wide screen once that was very thin, cloudy and floppy, and not much use. Stay away from wide screens. Any big-screen projection TV is worth cracking into and having a look. Free big-screen TVs every day in my local newspaper, they just need someone to haul it off.

Greay vid! Bro, can you wear some gloves or oven mits next time? I just cringe when you grab the lid, even though I have seen the video before, lol. What an amazing thing to see, wow. Looks SOOO good!

How come it doesnt start EVERYTHING on fire and bust the glass pot?I thought Fresnel lenses were a lot more dangerous.Did you get yours out of a TV or did you buy a Fresnel lense. Do you know where I can get one?

cool and I will be it is a true 400f inside that pot. Those are some large lenses there my spot lens is smaller than yours.

Very nice. I have had little luck baking with a solar box-type oven cause the humidity stays too high, but the lens seems to work better for baking. It must stay hotter and drier, especially if you lift the lid a couple of times. Great, informative video. On another site they led you to believe if you tried to cook you would burn everything or break the dish, but you showed by purposely not focusing the light onto the dish and food, you can control the temp. Nice lenses, just the right size.
