Maybe I am best off sticking to the rocket stove (or future cob oven) for other types of cooking. Sure wouldn't want to start a fire out here!Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-46019587389020975832010-04-29T07:39:09.105-07:002010-04-29T07:39:09.105-07:00Thanks.

That's why I steer clear of the parabolic cookers, too. The danger of starting fires is too high. I like the eco-stove(?) idea that Chile showed the other day for fast cooking. It would cook fast and burn up fallen branches. Gonna have to make my own, though, 'cause I can't seem to locate a source. Have a great day.Sharlene T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08520928982756928527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-60980425119708536422010-04-28T22:17:15.759-07:002010-04-28T22:17:15.759-07:00Chile - Yes, he was there.

You could easily burn yourself or start a fire.<br /><br />Sharlene - The center of the bread was good. I like crunchy crust too, but this was more than crunchy, I feared for my teeth! And the crust had a weird texture. I really don't know how to explain it, but is wasn't quite right. I've got some dough rising now using a different recipe from the same book. It bakes in loaf pans and at a lower temperature. Hopefully I'll get better results.Solar Oven Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222583845217303648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-7519825104405769692010-04-28T20:06:22.149-07:002010-04-28T20:06:22.149-07:00Looks like you had a great turnout!

So far as the bread is concerned, I like a crunchy crust on my round breads. Was the center too soft?Sharlene T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08520928982756928527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498582857153197704.post-10680687586683956292010-04-28T06:13:35.258-07:002010-04-28T06:13:35.258-07:00I didn't see pictures of the fresnel lens cook...I didn't see pictures of the fresnel lens cooker. Was that guy there? That's the solar cooker I'm really interested in adding to my 'stable' of ovens. The ability to stir-fry with the sun would be awesome!<br /><br />Glad you had fun and really hope to meet you next year. I've put the Bisbee event on my calendar but not positive I can make it yet.Chilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406176434011890590noreply@blogger.com
