How does a solar cooker compare to a gas or charcoal barbeque?
A gas or charcoal barbeque burns either propane or wood to cook our food on demand. In contrast, a solar cooker burns no fuel, but rather uses free solar energy to cook our food. It must be used when the sun is shining. A solar cooker is 100% more environmentally friendly than a gas or charcoal barbeque. It emits no greenhouse gasses or smoke into the atmosphere in its operation. A solar cooker uses less material. But a smoky flavour can be added to food in the solar cooker with liquid smoke sauce or wood chips.
