Outdoor Cooking Comes Out of the Dark Ages with The Advantages of Solar Cooking.
In many places around the world, outdoor cooking is very popular, not just for camping or vacation but also all year round if the weather cooperates. One of the problem with most forms of outdoor cooking, be it propane or charcoal is that you need to haul around the fuel with you and a fairly heavy cooker.
The other issue is of course with traditional combustion based cooking is the emissions involved There is a direct like between man made atmospheric CO2 and climate change and we need to look for a clean option using renewable energy. Thankfully we have the sun!
The traditional method for outdoor cooking since the cavemen discovered fire. Now these is a better way!
Other considerations when preparing to cook outdoors is the risk of fire especially in dry areas where there has been a lack of rain. Under these conditions many campgrounds will not let you have a campfire or a charcoal brickett bbq.
There is a clean, safe, fuel free and cost free way to cook your food that is extremely portable and that is solar powered cooking.
