I know we're kind of coming to an end of the prime solar cooking season however I feel this could provide supplemental low-tech heat to a dwelling as well-- so stacking functions! I'm thinking if I rearrange myself facing kitchen wall a little bit I would have about 3 ft of space potentially but I could put this or something like it in the wall.

I absolutely love the idea of having an oven on basically all the time as long as the Sun is up but keeping the heat outside when I want to and also not needing to go outside when I don't want to just to check the oven.

Thanks for hosting Nick. That was a great time had by all in my family!

This route is something to consider for zero energy use.



I know this thread is about a different kind of cooking but this stacks function and gets us closer to zero propane needed.

I’ve picked up a few school buses and they are awesome for moving and storage as the motor is built in. You have to watch for windows that like to leak. They go for $2000-$4000 for something with a decent running motor.

I have a short video that shows how easy it would be. http://goo.gl/SUlc0t super easy, with a cordless drill or impact driver, it takes about 25 mintues with practice. if no one can help, Ill have to drive the 400 miles for this little job.

I have put it on craigslist but preference would be to use a permie. If I am breaking all the rules, let me know. I love Missoula, I was there a couple years ago for the convergence, its just a bit of a drive from Post Falls for such a small job.

I would rather go green and burning less fuel by outsourcing to someone with some mechanical inclination who is far closer.

Ill put the ad here and you can get ahold of me for more information. http://missoula.craigslist.org/lbg/4333264363.html

I just picked up a broken treadmill for the motor, i think its 90. if i remove the rear tire, get a belt to run inside the rim and run the motor, what sort of electronics would I need ot charge some batteries?

Good to see lots of familiar faces and some new ones too. Hope to see lots of your spaces in the coming year as I travel about. I hope to have lots of video uploaded soon from the convergence. Missed seeing Paul this year.

No special appearance from the duke this year eh?

note your dates all fall on sept 14 somehow

i would think you could put it somewhere like the top of the barrel on the bottom or top side? and it would work really simple that way, just have some water trickle thru it all the time?
