Talk:Solar cooker

message: Solar oven should be a subsection of here. I started to merge a while back, but it seems that I forgot to delete and redirect the other page. D'oh - sorry!. And there's been further edits to Solar oven now, so it needs careful merging. --Singkong2005 03:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to solar cooking technologies but it seems the main content applies only to solar ovens, not all types of solar cookers or parabolic solar cookers. For example. under Operation, paragraph 4, this applies to a solar oven but not a parabolic--correct? If so, I'll try to re-organize and categorize the information as I learn more about this fascinating topic.

:You would use the firewood that you saved on the days when you were able to cook with the sun. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.19.27.192 (talk) 18:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I did some looking around about the HotPot, and it doesn't seem like it's worth devoting a whole section to. Maybe we should include it in a list of humanitarian organizations that are solar-cooker related. But I don't think it has enough significance to discuss at length in this article.

replies: text: I've also looked at it, and I'm not convinced that it is a solar cooker at all.  It seems to be a replacement for using an oven bag and a normal pot in panel cookers (like the CooKit).  Does anyone know more about this?  Can the Hot Pot be used by itself as a solar cooker?

replies: text: I don't know where you are looking, but the HotPot is a very effective, durable and widely-used solar cooker.  It was cleverly designed by engineers to provide thermal gain via the greenhouse effect, as well as by reflection from polished aluminum panels.  The panel, by the way, is designed to fold flat for easy packing.  I replaced the image with a clearer one.

thread_title:  HotPot 

message: The image does not go with this text.  The image shows a tea kettle heated by a parabolic solar cooker.  The text describes evacuated tube solar collectors, which is an entirely different technology that is generally used for solar water heating.  The paragraph refers to a specific device created by one  individual and ambiguously named.  Parveson (talk) 00:01, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: See solar cooker models and all solar cooker designs list for a list of all solar cookers on Solarcooking wikia (still many of them not imbedded into article. DIY-solarcooker construction and extra models may also be derived from this site
Finally, look into this site for even more solar cookers KVDP (talk) 08:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  More solar cooker types needed 

message: Just wanted to give this page's regular editors a heads-up that it's time for a review of the External Links section.  You may want to familiarize yourself with the official policy on external links, and I encourage everyone to remove links that do not seem to meet these guidelines.  In general, however, the goal is to have:
* only links which provide "encyclopedic" information about solar cookers (=something useful to student writing an essay for school)
* no links that are primarily trying to sell things
* no links that are (or should be) used as references higher up in the article
* the fewest number of links possible (so that only the "best" links are included)
The goal is not to list all possible organizations, manufacturers, and so forth:  Wikipedia is not an advertising opportunity.  I've put this article on my list for a day or two from now, but anyone who feels like it can get started now.  Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just done a quick organization-of-links on the External links section.  If you think any are miscategorized, please make appropriate changes.  I've also removed a dead link and a duplicate link, and repaired another so that it works again.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
