Sun Ovens – A different approach

As populations increase and forests and fossil fuels disappear, the need for an alternative method of cooking around the world is intensifying. SUN OVENS International is committed to providing an alternative.

SUN OVENS International takes a different approach. We have taken a concept that has been around for centuries, and have combined it with more improved materials to make the most effective solar cooking devices in the world. The SUN OVEN® has been designed to overcome most of the cultural barriers that have restricted the widespread use of the sun for cooking.

The SUN OVEN is often compared with box cookers made out of aluminum foil and cardboard (homemade boxes of various sizes and shapes). See http://solarcooking.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Solar_cooker_plans for more details on DIY models. While the energy conversion principles are the same, the materials utilized in manufacturing SUN OVENS® have been carefully researched to include the most efficient materials available. In order to capture the maximum amount of energy, achieve the highest possible temperature, and retain the greatest amount of heat, while minimizing the weight, the materials utilized have been selected based on efficiency and quality. SUN OVENS International is determined to disseminate solar appliances that truly meet people’s needs rather than distributing perpetuating cookers that work only under the most ideal conditions.

The initial price of a GLOBAL SUN OVENS® is higher, but due to its long life, ability to cook on partly cloudy days and allowing food to stay warm for hours, the cost per meal is lower than any other solar cooking device.

Includes:

GLOBAL SUN OVEN® with:
Built in thermometer
Attached one piece collapsible reflectors
Spill-proof levelator
Self-contained focusing leg

Reaches temperatures 360 to 400F. Weighs 21 pounds, opens and folds up in seconds and comes with a carrying handle.

Build your own rain harvesting system

We are offering a very unique kit to turn a 55 gallon plastic drum into a great rain water harvesting system. If you have 2×3 or 3×4 rectangle downspouts attached to rain gutters, this system is for you. Includes everything you need to connect the barrel to the downspout, plus the drain valve. We even include the hole saw blades for your drill. We also offer connector kits to daisy chain multiple barrels, a dripline irrigation kit, and a solar powered pump kit for pressurized water for showers or other needs. A solar hot water system will heat this water nicely for showering, and provide collection space for directing more rain water into the barrel.
