Solar Hotdog Cooker

thingiverse

I'm watching a video that might need to be bigger, it takes an hour and a half to cook. Maybe this focal point is better and can be directed at the sun more. A solar hotdog cooker using tinfoil to reflect light looks promising. Printing two to make a trough or trying with one could work well. Cutting a 5-gallon pail in half might also do the trick. For six-inch hotdogs, it makes a fourteen-inch solar trough. Still need to make a stand and try one. Covering inside with tinfoil so the arms don't melt is essential. An electric rotisserie soon could be an option after depending on how well it works. Ideally, bubbling the surface would be nice. You could use three-foot aluminum flashing polished as well or build a larger five-gallon bucket version. Depending on the taste, still need to prove the concept. I had another project for making a flashlight hotdog cooker that uses battery to heat up the hotdog maybe even nichrome wire. Solar-cooked things might be more cancerous.
