Minimum Solar Cooker

Delivery:

Two cardboard boxes, with inner box, at least 15 inches x 15 inches (38 cm x 38 cm), but more is better. The outer box should be higher on everything, but no matter how much larger, while half an inch (1.5cm) or more airspace between the two boxes. The distance between the two fields need not be equal all around. Remember also that it is easy to adjust the size of a cardboard box by cutting and pasting it.

A sheet of cardboard for cover. This should be 2 to 3 inches (4 to 8 cm greater) around the top of the kitchen finished (the outer box).

A roll of aluminum foil.

There may be "non-toxic when dry" flat-black spray paint.

At least 1 cup of white glue

One Reynolds Oven Bag. Common in large supermarkets in the U.S. or Canada, or by mail to solar cookers International. They are rated to 400 ° F (204 ° C), making them ideal for solar cooking. They are not resistant to UV rays, so it becomes more brittle and opaque over time, and perhaps to be replaced periodically. A glass can also be used, but it is expensive and fragile, and does not much better than in the kitchen, except on windy days.

Base Building Solar Cooking

Instructions:

Fold the top flaps closed on the outer box and inner box on top and draw a line around it on top of the outer box. Remove the inner box and cut along this line to form a hole in the top of the outer box

Decide how you want the kiln to be deep. Ideally, it should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deeper than the largest of marijuana and about 1 "shorter than the outer box to be a gap between the lower of the two fields when it is fully-equipped kitchen.

With a knife, cut the inner corners of the box until this point. Fold each side down, there is renewed flaps.Folding is easier if you first draw a firm line at the end of one clip to another in the folds out.

Glue aluminum foil inside the two boxes, and also within the remaining top flaps of the outer box. Do not bother to be ordained in the outer box has never seen or experienced some attrition. The inner box will be visible even after assembly, so if you love, you can take more time here. Glue the top flaps closed on the outer box. Put a few balls of crumpled newspaper into the outer box, so when you set the inner box into the hole in the outer carton, the flaps on the inner box touches the top of the outer.

These fins glue on top of the outer box. Trim over a flap that even with the circumference of the outer bank.

Finally, to make the drip pan, cut a piece of cardboard the same size as the bottom of the oven interior and aluminum is used on one side. Paint this foiled side black and allow to dry. Put it in the oven so that it rests on the bottom of the inner box (black upward), and their place in it when cooking pots. The base is finished. 

  

Construction of Solar cooker lid

Take the large sheet of cardboard and put it on top of the base. Trace its outline, and then cut and fold the edges to form a border of about 3 "(7.5 cm). Fold the corner flaps and tail wings around the lid. Orient wrinkles go from left to right as before the oven, so that the propeller can be inserted into corrugated cardboard. One trick you can use to make adjustments of the CAP is the pencil or pen on the side of the box when marking. Do not hit the top of the box, you have to remove to move the pots into and outside the oven. solarbox5 (3K) To make the reflector flap, draw a line at the top, forming a rectangle the same size as the opening of the oven. Cut around three sides and fold the resulting flap up to the formation of the reflector. Folie this flap on the inside.

To make a double helix of 12 "(30cm) piece of wire suspension as shown in Figure 6, this can be inserted in the corrugated cardboard as shown.

Then turn the lid upside down and glue the oven bag (glass or other material) instead. We have had great success with turkey size oven bag (19 "x 23 1 / 2", 47.5cm x 58.5cm) was used as is, ie without opening it. This makes a double layer of plastic. The two layers tend to separate from each other to form an airspace as the oven cooks.

Using this method, it is also important to hit the bag at its open end closed. This stops water vapor from entering the bag and condensing. Alternatively, you can cut any size oven bag open to form a flat surface large enough to cover the opening of the oven.
