Sun Ovens
I have been searching for a good outdoor oven that uses solar energy. The Sun Oven seems to fit the bill, but it is so expensive. Has any one found an alternative choice that doesn't cost so much?

I agree that some brands can be pretty pricey...I've seen some cool DIY versions of solar ovens...Here is a super crude version and a super fancy version.

Hey, that Crude version is cool, or hot - LOL - Thanks for posting this Ruth 🙂

Thank you for posting these ideas, @Ruth Reyes-Loiacano! I was just looking yesterday for ideas to make my own, and the second link you posted confirmed that I can use my leftover reflective insulation for it :D

I've often considered a sun oven and thought of building one, seeing many videos online of people showing their successes. My only concern is the reliability of them.
Being outside of the U.S importing a heavy unit is very expensive. I think the concept is exceptional and holds a lot of merit though. Hope to have one some day.

I know a permaculture farmer who lives off grid and has a solar oven. She uses it for cooking beans, desserts, and more.
I have not built one yet but it is on my list of things to do.
