The Solar Sport Oven with reflector is suitable for use in backyards as well as during picnicking, camping and boating. This solar oven has the capacity to cook most of the food items in two to four hours of time, using less solar power. It can easily be stored and transported, weighing just 10 pounds. The dimensions of the Solar Sport Oven are height of 12 1/4 inches, length of 27 1/4 inches and depth of 17 inches.
The Solar Sport Oven with reflector is constructed using aluminum and recycled plastic pop bottles with high quality insulation.
