Solar ovens don't make sense here in Texas. Natural gas is cheap, or depending on your land and contract, maybe free + a check occasionally.

That might be a great idea for some other areas though.

Solar A/C would be great

One thing we do here at the house is cook outside as much as possible during the summer.

Baked bread becomes a fall/winter/spring kind of thing to help warm the house, and summer tends toward homemade tortillas cooked on a comal outside.

Really? Guess this Texan better go put it back in the garage.

We have some friends who’ve made a Mexican oven outdoors. They use a lot of wood to heat the sand under the cooking area, but the food they cook are very tasty, expecially the stews and soups and the breads are fantastic. The breads have an extra crunchy crust that I cannot get in my oven.
