I liked your video but don't agree with your comment that self made cookers can do little more than warm hot dogs. I have cooked roasts, potatoes,carros, etc. In a funnel cooker designed by B.Y.U. Not as fancy as a sun oven but only a few dollars for aluminum foil and glue and it worked great. Search B.Y.U. Solar cooker for plans. I am told the B.Y.U. Funnel cooker production of 2000 units is under way with an estimated cost between $20-$30.
That Sun Oven is like mine. Same resource? I've collected some cardboard boxes, insulation, and Mylar from recycled chip bags to make more ovens. Kept some tempered glass sheets from old bookshelves - use them for the top. I've been using my Sun Oven for boiling eggs lately since my chickens are laying like crazy.
I like the idea of using more than one oven even though it's just me here at home. That way I can cook the main course in one oven and then dessert or bread in the other oven.
I would need a fence around a solar oven. Looks like a banquet for the raccoons & my Great Pyrenese.

Dear Mrs. Dewitt.
I just watched your 8 part series which was great. I am a poor organizer; can I purchase your written class materials?
Thank you,

@Yeshuamysavior1 Nice idea - if enough moisture gets out. The glass tends to keep moisture in.

With the solar oven, screens to dehydrate foods might be an option,too.
Very wonderful series! I thank you so much!

great except for rainy days. even cloudy days enough solar/uv radiation gets through to cook with, lower temps of course.
