RVers Can Harness the Sun for Cooking

Most everyone knows that RVers use solar panels to recharge their RV battery systems but did you know that you can cook with solar power as well? There are many designs for solar powered cookers – just do a web search and you’ll turn up do-it-yourself models that are cheap to make and RV friendly. Mark & Jacee Gerbozy started a company that makes solar cookers called appropriately, “Sol-Food.” This is a solar oven/BBQ that is 92% efficient. Depending on weather conditions, this cooker maintains a cooking temperature between 250 and 450 degrees. In optimal conditions, this cooker has reached a temperature of 675 degrees. This cooker is 100% environmentally friendly because it doesn’t use any fossil fuel, wood or charcoal. This unit weighs about 45 lbs. and sells for $300.00. They are working on a more portable unit that will be ideal for RV use. I’ll let you know when they have the product out of the testing phase. Check out their website here:

Way too heavy and expensive. Other than that, it's ideal! :)
