"Blue Van Dan" Ochs: Vacuum Tubes Do All The Cooking

Dan lives the schoolie/van life and his main cooker uses a vacuum tube, framed for carrying and for the tube to survive the three-foot drop test. We like to say among our solar cooking friends, that these devices are truly "Set it and forget it" --but Dan cautions, "Don't forget it!"

Sadly I dropped mine two feet and broke a tube. Luckily got the last one in stock. Only way to break it is too abuse it badly.

I wonder if the glass back then was higher quality... borosilicate? tempered? I hear so many cases where the thermal shock imploded tubes, maybe it was carelessness with a heated tube and sloshing cold soup like the disaster on one cooking show on cable...
