Quick Note - Version 1 Hit 245 degrees F Today

So, the first version of the solar cooker, the one with no insulation hit a record  just shy 250 degrees today.
I had painted a large 36 oz V8 can today with grill paint. (according to the instructions that go with the beer bread) I put it in the cooker to cure the paint, and was pleasantly surprised by the results...

Granted, I'm pretty much cheating. It was 108 degrees and sunny today, but still ... very cool ... and that's with no reflectors other than the foil inside the box.

Baking bread should be a piece of cake. ... hey, maybe we can bake a cake next!

I'll also try and do a better job of securing photographic evidence.

Oh yeah, check this out ... looks like we have some ideas for Version 3 ...
