wood/charcoal
If you plan to use a fireplace or wood stove -- make sure you have plenty of firewood, matches, and kindling. Also, cast iron cookware could be invaluable. You may want to buy a dutch oven or two, just in case, especially if you have plenty of wood available to use as fuel.
Solar Cooking in a Whellbarrow
Prepare dinner at breakfast time when the day is over 23 degrees Celsius.
- Wash out the wheelbarrow, then line with aluminum foil.
- Select a sheet of glass to cover the top of the barrow.
- Position in a sunny spot.
- Place potatoes and veggies into a Dutch oven with lid and put them in the wheelbarrow on a couple of bricks, replace the glass. When setting it up wear sunglasses as light reflects off the foil, wear oven mittens as it gets very hot. Use an oven thermometer so you can gauge the temperature correctly.
