Here in Arizona I use a solar oven most of the year and do my cooking outside. It helps keep the house cooler especially when it's above 100 outside. I use a simple table on a covered patio with a bucket system, just cold water to rinse off anything and then that water goes right into the garden. I also bake in the BBQ grill and cook on the side burner. I just keep it simple and it seems to work for me. Shalom
