Developed at the University of New Mexico's Gallup branch with funding from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention/Diabetes Prevention Project, this solar oven is skillfully designed, easily assembled, and remarkably effective. You can download simple, straightforward plans that will help you build your own oven. No expensive materials or tools are required.
Our design has several advantages over other designs. The triangular shape of the oven helps capture sunlight in all seasons; our design allows full, east-to-west exposure without rotating the oven. The beehive door prevents heat loss and allows the oven to accommodate large items, such as stock pots, turkey roasters, and pizza pans. Also, the metal bottom transfers heat rapidly to food. In addition, this design is very stable in windy conditions, unlike some other ovens.
The plans include:
- A complete materials list of everything you'll need to build your oven
- Step-by-step instructions
- Professionally-drafted diagrams
- Photographs showing the oven being built
- Cooking tips
After purchase, you can download an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file containing all plans for building your own solar oven.
