 [[https://amzn.to/2SdSc0Y|Solar ovens]] are popular with [[camping:dispersed|boondockers]] in sunny areas because they require no power to operate.  All they take is sun and time (both of which the boondocker may have in abundance).
-Typical temperatures for commercial models are in the 250F range with a max of 300F.  There are also plans online for DIY solar ovens like [[https://www.instructables.com/id/Purple-Fig-Solar-Cooker/|the $5 oven]].
+Typical temperatures for commercial models are in the 250F range with a max of 300F. Higher and more consistent temps are possible when the box is enclosed with a clear cover that faces the sun.

+Bring Your Own Pot solar ovens are generally either a rigid box type (left) or flexible pouch type (right).  In either case the pot will be dark in color with a black or clear lid.
+The box type is more traditional and may be more efficient. The pouch type may be the least efficient but stores flat and is effectively unbreakable.
+DIY solar ovens tend to be the box type since they can be made from cardboard boxes lined with foil.
+==== tube type ====

+Higher temperatures and better results can be achieved with a tube-type cooker where the food is slid into a long clear tube.  Cons:  breakable, harder to clean and store.

 Most types have a built-in thermometer and rely on stove output to regulate temperature.  Because of their small size and light weight it can be difficult to keep an even temperature; lower flames are easiest to adjust.
