Hi,

This is a solar oven I made out of some discarded plywood and aluminum foil. I built it around the piece of tempered glass that I found, which was once the door of an entertainment center. I am super excited about this project and am currently roasting a butternut squash!

Today I got the temp to 165. I am hoping to figure out more tweaks to get it over 200. Suggestions welcome.

  • The in side walls should be black and raise up the plate holder. the other box should be all black also

  • Thank you! I just coated the inside with cardboard and painted it black with BBQ high temp paint. I am so excited to roast some ribs! I'll post the new temp tomorrow when the sun comes up. Thanks again for the tip.

  • Anytime you see an oven or a grill on the side the road stop and check it out often people toss working temp devices like this some times they toss out blackened pans.

  • I've always wanted to build one of these! Please let us know how it works out with the interior painted. I'll bet that thing will work great in the summertime! Did the squash ever finish cooking?

    (Sorry if this is a repost. I think I spaced out and didn't hit the "Post Comment" button the first time. Or not...)

  • well have you tested it out yet lets hear or do not the sun show up he. he.

  • i can hear your wheels turning from here.... my dog is famous too, but my husband is more famous i think, i love the audio preview on these comments, makes me sound like stephen hawking

  • LOL, I just seen your post. It does need to be black inside, will make all the difference in the world. He will be cooking up a storm in that oven!
