I am wodering how anyone is planning on cooking their beans & the likeif no new fuel is available. sure i have propane and a dual fuel coleman stove. that 1 will work as long as i can find a vehicle to siphon gas out of but i was wondering about a large fresnel lens to heat a cast iron dutch oven. anybody doing this?
Can cook a fair amount in my Global Sun Oven but for best results need to use granite ware instead of cast iron.
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.
I live in a rural area, lots of woods. Fire is my way to cook.
The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag 2:8 [/b] He created it. He controls it. He gave it to us for His use. Why did we turn from sound scriptural currency that PROTECTS us?

The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life. – Theodore Roosevelt
When I was a kid I made a solar cooker out of big sheets of cardboard and Al foil. It was 4' in diameter and built on a 4x4 1/2 sheet of plywood. The parabola had a 12" focal point that would get up to 400F instantly when pointed at full sun.
A big C-band TV sat-dish would work very well if lined with Al foil. They are available as junk today.
