Great job on the build. I think you would get more sun into the oven if you lowered the front panel so the top was on an angle. Also, if you made the oven a little smaller so there was less space to heat. Just a few thoughts from my build plans. Everything look delicious.👍
Baking bread in sun oven is my next test. I already baked bread in the crockpot. I agree with you that having a way of gauging the temperature in the oven is the best way to get started.
Base construction is simple! I love it.. Keeps the door open for modifications. I would add the lazy susan and add reflective wings and make them adjustable too. Great vid. TY > Bob SaTx.
looks great. also, what ghost ape said. consider cutting the box down say from 12 inches tall to 6 inches tall will definitely increase cooking temp; angle the top based on your latitude; put reflectors on the sides; angle back reflector based on sun elevation.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! It's great to see some serious baking in a solar oven. I like to bake in the summer, but can't stand making the whole house hot, and I also want to use free energy, so I'm considering building one myself. This video was really helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Would not some castor wheels or a large lazy susan found in second hand stores secured on the bottom of the base pallet help with shifting the entire thing when the sun shifts? I have mobility issues so I always think of ease of use. Great idea!!!
I recommend making a "swing" like type to thing to put your food on so when you point the top of your oven towards the sun to get higher temps, your food stays level. This can easily be made from a bit of sheet metal bent to make a swing platform for your food that is just hanging from a couple of nails on the side of the inside of your oven and paint it black also. I also recommend some sort of SHINY metal pieces on the outside reflecting the sun into the oven. The best thing would be a couple of mirrors, this would dramatically raise your internal oven temp!!! If it starts getting too hot, face it away from the sun a bit, the temp goes down fast. Overall, GREAT job though!!
I looked at your build video first, then to this video. Curious if you couldn’t secure your mirror for sun reflection permanently to the box, (using more scrap wood) Along with adding caster wheels (harbour freight has them, fairly inexpensive)to the bottom with rope handles for pulling into positions needed for max sunshine? I’m disabled and that’s how I view projects. Easiest way to move and utilise what I’m making. Short of that, this looks like something I can make and use. Great video! Thank you! Love your cooking demo….
Thanks for sharing this. I liked the camera work and simple narration of the process. I got a good feeling about what to expect from a home built solar oven.
I love what you are foing and will be building your S- oven soon ! We are in central Florida , so plenty hot hot hot sun every day for about 11 month ! Thank you for your great videos!
I watched your video on your construction of the solar oven and it was great. Just one question, I don’t remember the stand up thing that looks like a mirror in the first video is that an addition? Can you let me know what else you did? Or did I miss it somehow?
I'm JUST MAD cuase...well it's midnight and seeing the finish product...Now im hungry , well done miss thank you for sharing your success. Let is know how she does in the winter.
Great video! I watched the one where you made you sun oven also. I've been solar cooking for many years using panel cookers and more recently a small GoSun vacuum tube cooker. They all have cooked well but I've wanted to make own more in the style you used to cook more food at once. I think I'm going to borrow your ideas and make one very similar to yours. It's a great set up and you've done well.
Thanks for this second video. I watched your first video (very well done by the way) and had some questions. I got my answers in this one. Thanks again.
Nice job! If the box stays the same could it easier to use by having a internal rack that would bring pans closer to window? This would possibly reduce the need to relocate the box? Your thoughts? Carter Canada
Heat will increase quicker if you point the sun at the black bottom of the box and not the food directly. It's the black bottom that heats the box as that's where the sunlight is absorbed. You could maybe test it and see how things go.
So impressed at how much you can cook in this! Much more than most bought sun ovens. Is that a large mirror you use behind it to add more reflective heat?
Gave me ideas of what I could use for one. Even an old Coleman cooler. Tape foam rubber to all the sides, then add a double layer of heavy duty aluminum foil or even one of those sun shades that is semi insulated.get piece of plexiglass at hardware and you are all set. Gt one for you- light up a light bulb using no electricity. Take two taller plastic cups, drop a kitchen magnet in one cup fill with distilled, pure H2O with no additives, 1/2 to 2/3 up. Add 1 TBL salt to water, stir. Cut bottom out of 2nd cup. You want a lower what light bulb to sit in the cup so only the metal tip shows and only the metal tip sits in the salted water. May have to do little more trimming, but with only metal tip in the water with the magnet/Salt, the current generated in the water will light your light bulb. Salt has all kinds f uses, kitchen fridge magnets too. Don’t need electricity to produce current to light a light bulb!
Careful cooking meats, especially ground meats at them temps. Even us BBQ guys have to watch the dangerzone and stall at smoking temps. You have one hour time to get out of the dager zone. With ground meat there has been more area exposed to bacteria so it's even more worrisome.

I’m so impressed with your building and cooking too. New subscriber! 👍🏽
I just wanted to pop on here and say THANK YOU for your videos. So very very helpful!

I'm impressed. Thinking of building one just to dry herbs from the garden.
Baking bread in sun oven is my next test. I already baked bread in the crockpot. I agree with you that having a way of gauging the temperature in the oven is the best way to get started.
This is a really inspiring video of what can be achieved with very little. Well done you 😊

Everything looks good! 😋 Thank you for sharing. I still need to make mine. Many projects going on around my homestead. 😂 Good job.

Love your cooking demo….
Wow! That oven does great.
I need to build one.
Thanks for another great video.😊
Awesome design

Thank you for sharing.this is way awsome
I love it and i am so happy so see that
Awesomeness!
Achei muito bacana o vídeo descrevendo todo processo
Looks good! ☮️👩🏻🌾
I'm so amazed by all you can do. Your life looks amazing. Kudos
Looks great, thanks for sharing 😁
It looks delicious. Thanks for the video ❤
Thanksss

I think if had your oven door was in the front and only the bottom half, your oven would retain heat better
Good idea since the heat rises.

Thank you I love your channel and I've learned a lot. Hope you don't mind if I share!!
If you use terracotta tiles as the base in there, would that help hold the heat in the oven box?

SHE ADDED A MIRROR TO GET MORE SUN FOR HEAT . BECAUSE THE BOX ONLY GETS HALF OF SUN LIGHT.. WITH THE MIRROR REFLECTON THE OTHER HALF IN THE BOX..
I wonder if you could put a thermometer in some foods (and leave in while cooking) so you can see when they are done by temperature?
Yes, there are thermometers with a probe and a sensor that's located outside the oven. I've been using one when making pulled pork on a smoker.
Hi. Great video. Did you have to use a certain kind of paint that was not toxic? What was it? Thanks so much. Good job.
Do you cook the meat before adding it to your lasagna? Thanks so much
I have only one problem with the food you've cooked in your sun oven. I didn't get to taste any ! 👍
Careful cooking meats, especially ground meats at them temps. Even us BBQ guys have to watch the dangerzone and stall at smoking temps. You have one hour time to get out of the dager zone. With ground meat there has been more area exposed to bacteria so it's even more worrisome.
I noticed that you are using glass bakeware. Can you use metal pans?
Please can you post the recipes for the dishes you made.
Does a sun oven work well if it’s sunny but cold? I live in Idaho.
Yes, if it's well insulated
I noticed you are using a mirror to reflect tne sunlight into the oven. I dont think you mentioned that in your video.
I don’t know about that paint
music TOO loud
