Unfortunately for me, but fortunate for my yard, we have been in the middle of the Texas equivalent of a monsoon for the past few weeks. All in, from getting the fire started to getting the water boiling, it took me about 22 minutes. You could probably shave that down with practice. But this stove works at its own pace. Yes, you can control the heat by adding more or less wood. But you aren’t going to be breaking any boiling-time records, no matter how much wood you put in there. It took just a couple of minutes to get the chimney sections out of the body of the stove, fold down the legs and fit the chimney in place. The water heaterfastened on very easily. An ash pan catches loose ash and prevents it from clogging theairflow. It acts as a heat shield and prevents your stove from scorching the ground. Vent holes near the top of the burn chamber allow preheated oxygen to fuel the flame resulting in a more complete combustion and a hotter fire with less smoke. We always choose to support practical and environmentally-friendly ways of living which made us excited to use the sun oven. Sun Ovens International’s All American Sun Oven

The neatest, lightest and smallest of the stoveswe tested. It’s easy to light, but susceptible to wind. The pot stand is fairly stable providing you position your pan carefully and don’t use anything too big. A simple, satisfying stove to use for one- or two-person wild camping. These stoves are designed for camping, but there are kits available so they can be used inside bell tents and safari tents. They fold down to fit into a small bag and weigh around 10kg. They’re claimed to be 10 times more fuel-efficient than an open fire. I knew it wouldn’t fit in my sun oven so instead I put it in my 11″ x 8.5″ x 2″ oval-ish Corning Ware dish without the lid. This is the reason we have put together this buyer’s guide to help you make the best possible buying decision, based on your needs. We will talk about all of the key points that you need to consider when you are choosing from the stoves that we have reviewed on this list. You can use all the information in this guide to help you determine which one of these will offer you the best value for your money. Power Source We placed 2 ½ cups of water in both pots and surrounded them both with EcoZoom’s metal sleeve. This sleeve focuses the heat and increases the efficiency of your cooking.

How long does it take to cook in a sun oven?

We questioned the usefulness of the USB charging, because if you need the fan running on high to fan the fire, it won’t charge. Our testers felt it could be good for emergencies but you were unlikely to get a full charge from it in a normal cooking session. Coarse sea salt, along with a piece of wet cloth, can be good enough to remove the caked-up smoke and carbon. But a vinegar and baking soda mixture can also do a very good job for the tougher stains on the stove. Tip 5 There’s space on the top for two pots, and a lift-off plate allows you to cook over an open flame. Air-flow is controlled by an adjustable front door opening and smoke is carried away up a long chimney. You need a stove that heats up and can help you prepare a hot meal without using too much fuel too fast. Energy Efficiency This stove features our new hinged combustion chamber doors enabling for an effortless conversion from wood to charcoal fuels. Both the main combustion chamber door and the damper door (bottom door) have reinforced metal frames and have hinges that serve to securely close the doors and regulate airflow. The Zoom Versa also has a durable, reformulated 6-pronged cast iron stovetop that improves heat transfer for all pots including round bottom pots and woks.

When the wood burns inside the stove, it will get very hot. You do not want to keep it on a surface that can easily get damaged by it. Yes, that means your plastic folding table is also out of the question. On one of these sections is a wire spark arrestor that prevents fires inside the tent while the bottom one provides you with a damper, as well as a steel control handle. The rectangular firebox comes with two airtight doors and stands on four collapsible legs.

As this stove is so small, it’s not suitable for family camping trips or hiking excursions with friends. The aluminum feet are good and sturdy, but they’re not as durable as the titanium body, so you’ll need to take a bit more care with them. With everything set up and running properly, you can just go about cooking the food with all the ingredients you have.

However, if you’re heading out into the wilderness or prepping for a disaster, it’s best to pay more for a highly durable and reliable option. Building Material EcoZoom is a social enterprise and certified B Corporation that makes clean burning, portable wood and charcoal powered cookstoves. We believe cooking should be healthy, efficient and ecofriendly for cooks around the globe. When you first get the sun oven, you need to set three cups of vinegar in a bowl and leave it in the sun oven for 90 minutes. The main difference between these two types of cooking stoves is actually not in the fuel source, but in how the fuel is burned. The combustion process for both of these is not the same and that creates a vital difference between them. This fuel will last about 45 minutes, easily long enough to complete a meal or read a few chapters in your favorite book.EcoZoom’s Versa Stove can burn wood, charcoal, or dried biomass and is our most versatile cook stove. The Versa is a great option for those wanting cook fuel options while still providing the same EcoZoom durability. The Versa is our most popular emergency preparedness model in the United States and is also great for camping. We are excited to take this sun oven when we go camping with our Boy Scout Troop, and we also plan to bring it to my children’s school’s Earth Day celebration. If you let too much wood collect into the burn chamber without proper air flowing through it, the wood will not burn properly and that will end up creating a lot of smoke from the flames. If you leave a clear opening, you allow the wood to burn effectively. But, of course, it wasn’t. Apparently, I’d left my JetBoil and fuel at home — probably on the kitchen counter. So it was a damn good thing I’d brought the Biolite EcoZoom Versa for testing. Originally, I’d only planned on using this wood camp stove to cook ground beef (for a camp favorite dinner, mac’n’beef), and that was it. I was going to boil water for noodles and everything else in my JetBoil. Even though the rice directions said to boil the water and then add the rice, I put them both in together.

It takes about the same amount of time to cook something in the sun oven, assuming your oven was preheated and in the full sun for the duration of the cooking. Durable Construction: The powder-coated carbon steel body and cast iron stovetop and legs are built to withstand outdoor conditions. Another day, I successfully made a casserole with potatoes, eggs, onions, milk, cheese and sausage. Energy Efficient- My test only used charcoal, but 14 coals was enough to keep a fire going for well over 3 hours. which is perfect for times when fuel consumption is a major concern. We choose to review Sun Oven International’s All American Sun Oven because they are at the forefront of solar cooking.Then wipe down the inside of the oven with the (hot) vinegar, being sure to wipe the sides and the glass door.
