Check out this bad boy! The gang from the Alternative Energy Zone – which is a Burning Man community that bills itself as ‘free of stinking, noisy, polluting generators‘ (see here) – are the mad inventors behind this rather unique weiner roaster.
I guess cooking your processed meat tubes over a pile of burning sticks is old school. Especially when you’ve got the Solar Death Ray 3000, which focuses the sun’s rays so well, your hot dog will be ready in about 2.6 seconds.
The dude with the welding glasses looks like he’s having a little too much fun there doesn’t he? You can catch larger versions of these photos at Mike Elgan’s The Raw Feed here.
Hehe, really cute. But can it cook more than just hot dogs?
By the looks of it, Lynn, you could probably cook a side of beef with that thing! I’d hate to see what would happen to any birds that accidentally flew through the focal point of it though.
Then there’d be an instant unexpected roasted dish on the menu. Sorry, I know that was a bit tasteless, but it COULD happen, especially if this thing’s so powerful.
wouldn’t it work better if there was some sort of clear cover on the top to insolate it? Like a big over head projector glasses
Yeah…it’s absolutely a fabulous crackpot cooker!
It can even be used to roast craps!!!
This is so…oh, well! Wake me up when solar cooking has passed the phase of obligatory grinning old chimps photo ops.
(that is when solar cooking has stopped being sold as another torture device for poor black african women).
wow! that’s pretty cool.what about a pizza cooker? Talk about sweet!
