That's quite the solar oven contraption! I'm an avid solar oven supporter and have to say I've never seen one quite like this before. Any particular reason you designed it this way?

This is my MK 2 concentrator, and MK 3 oven/cooker design.I wanted to make sure that a pizza stone would be hot enough to get that "woodfired" effect.
As such it is always better to have more heat than not enough.:)
Also , eventually I am hoping to replace the oven itself with a Stirling motor to generate electric power,so in a way the whole structure is a physics experiment and engineering trial to see if enough heat can be obtained to go to the next step.
PS Your blog looks yummy...
