holy crap the heat coming off of this stove is just amazing it's it's not even
the lid isn't even shut and it's what is that - 75 to 80 and all the reason I'm
doing this is I have to preheat it and
pour a little bit of vinegar in that bowl and what you want what you want to
do in this thing is brand new is uh I guess you'd call it season it and you
want to get the factory smell out of there don't take much couple of cups and
what this thing's gonna do now now I gotta I'm gonna need both hands to close
that but uh that's pretty cool
what it does is steam it steam the inside and that's what the paper towels
are here for to you sort of clean it with the vapor steam from the vinegar
and it takes the factory odors out of it and then you're good to go and that's
the first thing you do when you get these Sun ovens is give them a good
vinegar steam steam bath and and then you let it dry out and then you're good
to good to cook I just I really wasn't going to video this cuz it's just not
that interesting but it was so hot and just to short him on the time I've had
it out here and and with the door not even being closed amazing I'm gonna like
this alright that's what we're looking for all that all that steam that vinegar
steam I'm gonna take
there's no mistake and that's vinegar all right I'm gonna get my paper towels
and wipe it afternoon all right we're fixing to take our all-american Sun Oven
for its first test drive I got a whole five or six potatoes cut up in the
bottom of this here and carrots throwing on the top of it I got a roast thrown in
here and this is about halfway frozen still
so probably take about an hour and the Sun of that to file so we'll see this
afternoon I will do a couple of updates in the meantime showing the temperature
we took up boy man this oven is amazing it has been overcast most of the morning
and it's up to what 275 yep
this this is an amazing oven amazing it is uh it's got this I don't know if I
showed you this last time maybe I did it what a lovely you push this button in
and you lift the stove up and down to align it with the Sun and can you see
right here where the Sun is coming through this top hole and it's the hole
on the inside of that that's how you line it up and this is anodized steel in
here and it's completely sealed I'm gonna show you I told you I was gonna
I'm not gonna bash the solar board because I've so enjoyed cooking but this
is spray paint and it's all come off that comes off on your pants so when you
go to wash your pans you get all that stuff in your sink this is not sealed
here or here so it's not sealed up here or here so when food spills and a dust
bill because in order to aim this to the Sun you have to tip it up and what I was
doing was putting a piece of wooden bat well uh liquid spills out and it goes
right down in here in these cracks and gets in the insulation and
ya know I've said it makes the neighborhood smell good and and then on
top of that this is not sealed this just sets on there and it's got a couple of
clips that you have to use two hands to get these on yeah I can't do it one hand
and there's three up top and three below and then the check your food you have to
remove this entire thing with the mirrors and they are only held on by
these little Springs in these little holes and believe me they come out all
the time so this works it cooks food and that's you know all you can say about it
there's nothing wrong with it as far as how it operates but it could be so much
better and so levar has done absolutely nothing to improve this design nothing
and I guess that's part of the reason I'm moving on to the Sun Oven is they've
just left this in the dirt this is ancient technology here compared to the
Sun Oven hey let me uh okay to get to the food
here just to stir something you got to remove the whole thing the whole lid the
whole reflector here's what you do to check the food here reach in here turn
watch
that pulls up and I only got one hand cuz uh
the other ones hold on a phone and these two little screws you turn them quarter
turn you raise this handle up you check your food when you're done holes right
back now why couldn't so love or do something like this and why couldn't so
levar used anodized aluminum instead of spray paint at aluminum and you know
these are roughly the same price I think this is a little more expensive but my
god you get so much more you know the pans the dehydrating racks and a much
much better insulated stove plus I can't so love or do this I mean you absolutely
have to aim your your oven at the Sun and this is a something that solid work
of doing you know incorporate pretty easily but I'm sad to say they've just
been left in the you know eighties technology this is a innovative and they
you know they make changes as they come up with better ways to do things much
better oven sorry to say it and I found somebody that wants that and I'm gonna
give it to them with the pans and everything the cave with it and I'm
gonna show him how to use it so so won't go to waste all right when I put that
roast in there it was frozen and I'm tempted to give them vegetables to stir
but I'm gonna wait a little longer
I just want to show people the the aiming device in there after there is it
three four so right at 300 degrees and it's been a mostly overcast day I just
want to show you what most of the days been like
dark gray clouds and they're coming from that direction going this away so the
Sun is right about here and I got a long way to go before I get any more sunshine
but this thing and what Paul Monson says in his all-american Sun Oven webinars
which that's another thing I hope to have him do a webinar on my channel and
basically he answers a lot of questions about solar cooking this Sun Oven and
all he does a lot of philanthropic things he's given I forget the number
but thousands of these ovens to third world countries and anyway I just wanted
mainly I just wanted to talk about the temperature this thing is held that was
is between 200 and 300 all day long and that's with no Sun are very little Sun
and what he says is if there's a shadow you can cook and you know there's a
shadow under my trailer there's a shadow under my truck so he's right it's been
plenty heat to cook in there and I really don't think the soul Devore would
do that anyway just pretty cool you can even cook in the clouds okay I've got it
in its 4:30 let's have a look
yeah oh my god
can you see that
oh I should let this cool a minute but let me at least try the meat
yeah with a fork I'm cutting that with a fork
oh my goodness I'll tell you what what it is it about the Sun hmm couple carats
yep potato done like an already dealt with
working it
damn good the all-american Sullivan I am very very happy with it and I'm gonna be
cooking a lot of meals and that thing thanks for watching oh hey if you want
one look below i have a link and if you buy one through my link you get $70 off
the price of one so alright thanks for watching you know it's time to go inside
when you're sitting there minding your business and I get the BB gun we'll take
care of that little - Mockingbird yeah thanks a lot Mockingbird well just take
that cover off yeah give it here I'll clean it up
