Solar Cooking in the Cluth: Season 2, Episode 1 is now posted on my YT channel:
https://youtu.be/qrGCbsYsB0Y Steve Harrigan has constructed a hybrid solar cooker the likes of which I have not seen elsewhere. Most hybrid cookers are solar box or tube cookers, with an electric heating element built in as a backup. Steve's cooker can be used where there is no grid nor PV or batteries to be had.
Upcoming episodes: The backstory of GoSun... Two friends who build one great solar cooker, helped others promote solar cooking in Peru... Several episodes with educators with a variety of ways to teach physics through solar cooking... How solar cooking meets all 17 of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals... The case for hybrid cookers...for phase change/heat storage materials cookers...for solar cooked popcorn, roasted coffee, and just plain rice & beans...for recognized standards testing of solar cookers... and much, much more!
Also in previous posts I made mention of the Consolfood's bread-making webinar, this snuck up on me quicker than I was ready to prepare here but it was recorded, and here is the playlist which as a member of the CSF's webinar team, I set up in Youtube also. It is divided into two parts, one set of very quick videos and another with longer, more elaborate processes.

Kudos to Luther Kruger for his ceaseless efforts to make the world a better place by spreading awareness of solar cooking via his you tube channel, Facebook and his Big Blue Sun Museum of Solar Cooking in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.
I invite anyone interested in solar cooking to also check out my you tube channel: solarwindmama. It includes videos on solar cooking in Africa, Afghanistan, on the Navajo reservation, on the beach in Oceanside, California and much, much more.Author, Farishta, a novel about Afghanistan

Watch this space! For more Solar Cooking podcast video interviews :) I have 20+ solar cooking designers, promoters and users in the eastern US lined up for my next podcast season in June. New episodes will start airing in July. And 30 more have signed on for a video visit out west in October!
For my Youtube channel playlist link to: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdb_Ho2BW4n0VwNHKAvOQ2gMlFaR5koAt
I urge anyone with a yen for solar cooking to subscribe, as I am getting a great response from active solar cooking promoters and designers.
One new addition to the playlist is an audio interview I had 11 years ago with David Wareham, son of the SunStove designer and promoter Richard Wareham. I am editing the close captions which are necessary due to the noisy cafe environment. The first 15 minutes should be good, but the remaining 1/2 hour might still have some weird transliterations. And I hope to replace it with a video interview with David soon! I also added a visit with the Solar Oven Partners director Marj Evans de Carpio and volunteer Gene Bethke, they have some great ideas about promoting solar cooking and assuring those adopting the practices keep it going in their communities.
Lastly I posted earlier about the Consolfood group assembling a set of bread-making videos. We've gotten a good set of submissions and I'll post the updated link when they are public, meantime keep your eyes peeled for any new solar cooking webinars on consolfood.org

I look forward to any news from ASES members regarding the use of solar cookers and dryers. I suggest this thread focus on this use of solar thermal as opposed to heating buildings or generating electricity from thermal solar. I also highly recommend participation in the Solar Cookers World Network group on FaceBook, which is the largest social media forum focused on solar cooking at over 5000 members from around the world. Many innovations in solar cooking get their first airing on the SCWNet. The Solar Cookers World NetworkFacebook | remove preview |
