Large Folding Suitcase Evacuated Tube Cooker! This large diameter solar cooker makes greater sense for a more reasonable quantity of food than the Go Sun models we have listed on our website. Despite claims, the Go Sun Sport or Pro Pack is a small diameter, low volume solar cooker, inadequate for families of 3 or more despite the manufacture's claims, in our opinion. Evacuated tube solar cookers are much hotter and cook much faster than box solar cookers or solar ovens. Cooking results with all solar cookers are weather and latitude-dependent. Inadequate sunlight results in inadequate cooking results, period.
Large evacuated tube cooker vs Go Sun Sport evacuated tube cooker size comparison.
Box solar cookers and solar ovens are usually the best option for families of 4 or more, due to the size restriction of narrow diameter evacuated tubes, used in most of Go Sun's solar cooker products. We find, box cookers require prolonged cooking times and constant monitoring, and adjustment for best results. We are based in the Pacific Northwest and solar cooking is not always viable due to our Northerly latitude. We enjoy solar cooking. In our location, solar cookers augment stoves (biomass off grid stoves are first line recreational and emergency cooking options, the sun is not always shining!). We have found potatoes and other dense food still hard and under cooked on many solar cooking occasions, despite solar cooker selected.
Solar cookers cannot heat massive amounts of water efficiently or quickly either, compared to a biomass stove and a hand full of twigs. A large diameter evacuated tube solar cooker is a much more reliable off-grid solution for multiple dishes and larger water heating capacities, however still pales to the direct performance of an efficient stove for large water volume production required for cooking, sanitizing safe drinking water, or for cleaning, bathing, or sanitizing cookware.
This large volume diameter tube solar cooker comes with protective folding aluminum sides and an adjustable frame to efficiently position and aims your solar cooker, for fast and efficient results. A directional sundial gauge is attached to the top stainless steel tube collar to insure fine-tuned, directional sun alignment.
Evacuated tubes are made of borosilicate glass and are breakable if dropped, thermal shocked, or mishandled. The folding aluminum case offers the evacuated glass tube moderate protection for your solar cooker. The wind is an enemy of most solar cooker designs, use protection in wind. Lash your unit down in wind or you'll likely be sorry. Use good common sense and you should have years of enjoyment with your solar cooker.
This item ships in a double carton with 2" crush zones, it is a very large box ($$$) and expensive to ship.
Each unit comes with several components:
Large ss stew pot insert
Small stew pot insert
2 cook & grill basket pans
Glass beverage carafe
Cleaning rod & 3 brushes
2 oven mitts
1 set of tongs
Manual
Recipe book
Grill basket hook tool
XL Larger Protective Suitcase Manual: Information is pertinent to this large solar cooker model too, the primary difference is this model does not include a protective suitcase and slightly smaller, but significantly larger than Go Sun Pro Pack models with numerous more options:
