The adjustable leg on the back works and allows the unit to be lightweight, self contained and very portable. However, we found it cumbersome to use and when fully extended the oven becomes very tippy. I threw together a quick and easy solution that makes height adjustment easy and allows for continuous adjustment and much better stability when extended. See photo. It’s just a couple pieces of plywood with hinges and brackets to hold the oven. I had it made by the time the first batch of biscuits came out. If you don't want to bother with the adjustment mechanism all you need is a piece of 2x4 about 8” long between the plywood sheets and you can achieve any angle by standing it up, laying it down and/or moving it closer and farther away from the hinges.
Solar cooking is amazing. The All American Sun Oven is awesome and an excellent choice for longtime solar users like us and It is so easy to use it is great for beginners as well. So far we have made hard boiled eggs with no water, fried bacon, cooked biscuits, baked cookies, and the best baby back ribs I ever tasted.

Yes, I also have propane and wood stoves, but the American Sun Oven is the perfect addition to my inventory of emergency preparedness equipment because all I need for cooking food is the sun! Additionally, it cost little or nothing to operate.
I am delighted with the American Sun Oven because it really works. On a sunny day it rapidly reaches 350 - 400 degrees. And, you can easily prepare two loaves of bread and two meals in only a few hours. With the American Sun Oven all I need is the sun. On overcast days I will use my propane stove or my wood stove, but that doesn't happen all that often here in Florida. The American Sun Oven is a quality product. I highly recommend it. If properly cared for, it will last for many years into the future.
Here are some common sense recommendations:
- Don't try to use the oven on windy days. If you do, the reflectors might wobble or your oven might slide out of alignment.
- Before first use, wipe out the oven with vinegar. This will reduce the chances of your first meal tasting a bit metallic or plastic.
- If you're a tenderfoot, don't expect the oven to be as convenient as the oven in your kitchen. It takes a little more effort.
We roasted whole sweet potatoes in about 2 hours and beets in about 1.5 hours. Best tasting veggies ever!
We also made a favorite banana bread recipe which normally takes 70 minutes to cook in our regular oven at 325 degrees F. The solar oven got to about 320 that day (slightly hazy skies). We put the bread in the oven, turned it slightly beyond where the sun was and left it to bake while we went on a long hike. It was in the oven for about 4 hours. The bread was beautifully baked, super moist and wonderful!
Note that this design is not intended for frying or cooking with a pressure cooker. You'll need a parabolic solar cooker for those applications. Anything you can bake, roast or braise will work great in this oven.
This is definitely a keeper!
