good morning YouTube got a solar boar sport oven I think it's the sport in the
mail about a month ago and we've had so much rain and cloudy days that I haven't
had a chance to use it in the last few days it's been really warm and sunny but
I've been so busy on that land I just haven't taken the time to even get it
out of the box but I wanted to stop opening it and show you how well it's
packaged it's got these bone corner protectors here back there too very well
packaged so that's a real good sign when they take enough care to package
something work will arrive on broken let me get it out of the box and set it up
ok this is the solar Sullivan sport oven and enough what denotes it as the sport
is they reflect that it comes with it but in reading the instruction seat with
the reflectors it says that if this gets up to 280 to 300 degrees it can cause a
lid to warp or can't become cloudy and this is Louisiana and we're going to
have a good hot sunny day so I'm not going to use the reflectors it's nice to
know that in the wintertime when the sun is at more extreme angles that you can
still cook you can use this to get your temperatures up I do have my little oven
thermometer here that I'm going to stick in there just so I can monitor the
temperature and I'm gonna get the film off of that and I believe there's a
couple of pots in there i may i may be wrong i don't know but we'll see in a
minute well this comes very well packaged and I they didn't give this to
me but I do have an opportunity to buy this if if I use this and like it and
I'm probably going to it's very well built
and very well packaged let me uh make sure this will flip this is a lid and it
has a secondary film on it let me see if I can show you this mmm how do I show
you that okay it's got like a double layer here on the on the lid and what it
does when the heat of the stove is exposed directly to the outside air it
acts like a heat sink and it loses heat a whole lot faster and what they have is
another thick film of plastic on the inside to act as a dead air space so
that's a real good idea real good some y'all if you've been subscribed to me
very long know that I built my own solar oven and they weren't great but like
everything else I over built it and I built it so heavy that I actually had to
put wheels on the thing and it was got I I took it apart and I used some of its
components for other project because i couldn't store it anywhere i made it too
big too heavy it worked great i did a lot of cooking in it and enjoyed it but
it was just too big that was a monstrosity and it became too hard to
handle so i'm probably going to go ahead and send him a check for this I'll know
after I cook today see what contemporaries we can get it up to all
right let me finish getting it together Oh cold it comes with a thermometer good
deal well you know I'm a curious sort so I lifted this up just like get a peek at
the insulation and it's two inches of thick insulation
yep I'm liking it okay now I'm gonna get together I'm going to get it out on a
table out on my driveway and get my chicken ready okay one more thing before
we go outside they included a huapi and what this is is a it allows you to
determine where their water has reached a temperature of i believe it's 165
degrees that these poppies melt what you do is you put this in a leader a clear
bottle of water and you you suspend it in the middle one weight holds it on the
bottom and of course you would run this through the cap and when the green wax
their melts and goes to the bottom of this cylinder your water has reached
pasteurization temperature and I believe it's a four-hour pasteurization time
it's probably in here but I've done some videos on water pasteurization I've
actually gone through the bayou and got water out of the Bayou filtered it
through a couple of coffee filters put it in the clear leader bottle and used a
huapi to determine when it reached pasteurization temperature I left the
water out there for about six or seven hours and I drank the water and I'm
still here it was not completely clear water because you know what it has some
minor particulates but nothing in it could hurt me and the next time you use
it just grab the other end since all the wax will be melted from here on to this
and then you turn it over and you use it that way next time well thank you so
lavore that was pretty cool that's just a nice little land Yap which in
Louisiana that's a little something extra alright now we're going outside of
cooks and chicken all right in this one I got three leg quarters
and this one I don't know if it'll cook steak or not but I these are tenderloins
and I'm just going to sprinkle some seasoning on it I'll block sorry for the
shaken
okay I'm gonna have to set that up on a table out there because I have dogs and
if I leave this on the concrete on the driveway yeah they'll be all over it all
right I'll see you outside okay everything's in there I got I'm gonna go
ahead and put both our monitors in there just to see if they're both accurate
I've just closed it up I just put the clips on it's got six of them and holds
it just holds the heat in I'm not quite in Sun yet about 10 more minutes will be
over the trees it's still early am Here I think it's 730 but I'm going to work
out on that property of Chandra and I'm going to be coming back and forth across
here and as the day goes by I will probably adjust this a little bit to
follow the Sun my mouth is already watering see you this afternoon all
right 10 after eight and we're just now getting the first bit of Sun on it so 10
after eight I'm talking to you too hun
Charlie says hi 833 and we're already up to 150 let's say 150 there yeah ok so
the both the thermometers are about the same that's about 17 18 minutes yeah 18
minutes it's already up to 150 pretty cool click update on my little thermos
jug here I put ice in this yesterday early morning about five o'clock and i
had it outside with me all day yesterday i still had ice when i put this in my
refrigerator last night woke up this morning still got ice in it i am just
that's over 24 it's been about 30 hours now I'm very very impressed with that
I've never had a jug keep ice cold for so long
I'm how it was worth it i think it was 18 bucks shipped 19 bucks something like
that very happy with it it's a cloudy of course the day i want a solar cook so uh
chance yeah chance of showers this afternoon so I'm going to put the
reflector on that just so I can gather all the rays that are available and uh
you read back what was easy fits on with these little Clips here spring-loaded
things and I just fit in the four corners see what are we up to 160 or so
I think once it hits 180 200 degrees you're you're you're cooking and this is
the chicken this was the steaks and they were frozen solid so it's going to take
a while for them to fall out I hope I got enough sunshine left because from
but noon on we stand about a thirty percent chance of having rain let's see
if not I'll just stick them in the oven finish them off oh heck yeah was that to
about 260 yeah 250 260 I want to keep an eye on it but I'm going to go ahead and
leave the reflectors on because we are having an intermittent you know Sun and
clouds so uh let's see I think it's 1130 not bad eight to nine 9 ten 10 one yeah
right at three hours three and a half hours maybe three hours 15 minutes right
in there I liking it will be back i'm hungry um okay ready for some chicken
it's a 300 degrees so I took the reflector off I'll keep an eye on it I'm
liking this this this is getting really hot and you know I like about it is it's
so like you can carry it with you it's not a pain in the neck to use because
it's not it's only like 10 or 12 pounds and yeah it got hot real quick plus the
steak was frozen solid nerves four of them in there so that had to affect it
too i think if i just had the chicken in there might have he's up even quicker
well it's been cooking for about six hours and it has reached 300 of several
times we got rain coming a storm so uh I'm gonna it's a little over 200 agrees
to 25 to 20 right about there I'm going to take them in let's get in one of the
pans and have a look see if they're done oh my goodness those are so tender Wow
look they're so tender they won't even pick up oh my goodness let's go take two
hands
okay those are definitely done
right
I tell you would its falling off the bone what the key yep does enough for me
i'm eating hungry been thinking about this all day I'm talking with my mouth
full sorry I'm eating the soul divorce board it works great at two hundred and
twenty nine dollars at sola volcom it comes with the reflectors the two pots
the huapi the water pasteurizer oh the thermometer it comes very well packaged
for even the worst shipping even if you were to send it through the post office
but that 229 price at sola volcom sol a VOR Isola volcom that 229 price includes
shipping and the united states that's pretty good and i'm going to go ahead
and buy this i like it it's light portable and it really does it did great
job so you can expect to see more solar cooking videos i think i'm going to do a
nice meatloaf next time i did a meatloaf in Maya the one I built years ago and
come on break and even with limited Sun this thing cooked thoroughly for some
reason this doesn't look cooked on the camera but maybe on the computer it does
but looking at it through my phone it looks like there's red and there's not I
assure you it's all done and you know it reached 300 degrees several times
throughout the day so you know it's done anyway great little oven I'm glad to
have it and my through my emails with the lady XO solar soul of war she said
who wanted to keep it i could buy it otherwise shit it back when i was done
so I'm keeping it and won't feel give me a break since it's used thanks for
watching y'all will be will do some more cooking in it
