Cooking with my new GoSun Solar Stove!

I cook lunch on my new GoSun Solar stove! This thing is AMAZING!!
Please Note: This was one of my first attempts at using a GoSun so I was still learning and yes, it cooks so much faster when oriented correctly...and when there are not as many clouds as there were on this day.

I know I'm WAY late to the party...but the barrel garden is the star of this video. Genius.

[@MrChipBryant]

Thank you for sharing your stove, well done. Thanks for no dumb music playing..!

[@gaillewis5472]

I have one of these and took it on the road when I drove cross country. I spent a lot of time practicing different recipes and found that all types of meats, vegetables, legumes, grains, and tubers cooked well. It was great not to heat up the house during the summer, and not have to deal with messy grills. Including prep and clean-up, meals are done in an hour. It's great for summer meals, camping and travel. The best part is that there is no fire or coals to douse.

[@reiddorian6500]

I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream new series online?

@Ezekiel Ryder thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !

[@ezekielryder4384]

@Reid Dorian you are welcome :D

[@alirenfro2526]

This whole concept is amazing. I'm saving up to purchase the larger model, I'm hoping they can get production costs lower so it can be more affordable. This is ideal for hanging out at the beach and not having to deal with the wind and getting a fire started, or camping/hunting trips. The idea of getting this product into third world countries where fuel is scarce is awesome.

[@nikhilsukumar23]

Just now watched your instruction review video of Go Sun, straightforward and easy to understand the video. Thank you. ☺

[@MrRayMac1963]

I have a couple of the mini versions made for backpacking. I use the old dutch oven cooking rule, "if you're lookin, you ain't cooking". Thanks for sharing, and enjoy, GoSun is great!

[@Rtcmanga_YouTube_Channel]

Thanks for the review! Cool that these things really work. Nice you even did two different dishes!! A whole menu!! :D

[@the5thprofession]

Yes, you can cook quicker with a conventional barbeque or campfire, but it seems the point is lost that with the GoSun Solar stove its efficiency is found in the fact that it needs NO gas,charcoal or wood for fuel. It may be slower, but in a situation where fuel is either scarce or non existent this stove can be very handy.

[@nntflow7058]

It's also good for slow cooking food.

[@azazelone905]

the5thprofession sun is a fuel too though... so my problem with this thing is it’s only optional. If the sun is barely hot enough or behind clouds, it’s useless. Good for the south. Not so good for up here in Canada or Britain.

[@snakesteve68]

@@azazelone905 Yes, but solar fuel is free and energy secure, you do not need to tote all that dangerous fuel around with you, and unlike toxic fossil fuels, it has no dangerous fumes/emissions (not counting sunburn/eye damage - but common sense covers those for you). I suppose its only real drawback comes at night. That is where the Fusion and other renewable energy powered stoves come in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joeZiopjbMmtkNk

[@flpirate45]

Very good demonstration, I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.

Great vid. I just purchased the small GoSun Go to take on kayak camping trips.

Nice garden!

[@matthexjohnson5445]

Awesome. I love it. Best on the market for small storage. Take to beach go swimming. By the time your done. Food is perfect and healthy way to cook. Love it!!!!!

[@MarkBH70]

It's ironic that a solar cooker needs sun. Hum. Neat stuff!! I just looked them up on Amazon. I wondered whether they took all day. This is the first video I've seen on one. Thank you!! I wish you're happy! Looks delicious. Really.

[@bobduvar]

I love your voice ! Strong calming deep male voice !!

[@HC-ov2hh]

No soy here lol

[@601salsa]

I got mine and even got the solar kettle as well. Awesome device.

[@601salsa]

@Dandan not too sure. I used it once to test. It works but the one i got was plastic on the outside. It is more of a resiliancy backup item.

[@jansveen]

Check out a school in Leh in Ladakh, where they use mirrors to catch the sunlight outside the building beaming the rays into the cooker, and they cook huge meals for all the school from this. Also, I saw a guy that uses an old parabole dish plastered with small mirrors, and in the middle, he hangs a tea kettle. It worked splendidly.

[@Makkauhijau3165]

nice barrel garden!

[@vesperraevilla7151]

Your voice reminds me of Ron Swanson off of Park and Recreation

[@bobduvar]

I love his voice too ! Very calming male voice... So rare !

[@ceebee1461]

I was just thinking that too! But Ron would fill his whole tube with meat and no veggies

[@hayesman76]

Excellent video. A fresh-cooked meal in 2 hours WITHOUT the need to use charcoal, wood, fire starter etc. -- IMO, you can't beat it.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Can you make coffee in it? Tea? Chicken soup?

[@AsianDefenceNews]

Looks yummy, made me very hungry.

[@Trytocookthis]

Sorcery. Amazing 🤩

[@pierluigicolotto9570]

very accurate plans for something like that I found on Avasva

[@joe-lz8uc]

remove the safety label on the outside of the tube and point to the sun and you will cook FASTER!

[@theerealatm]

This is supposed to be a supplemental cooking device. You could pop an MRE for breakfast while lunch is cooking. It's a great tool to have.

[@kbkb6535]

good job

[@crapseven]

I just had a thought. I wonder if you added a little water to the tray if it would aid in cooking by creating some steam.

[@theerealatm]

Would angling a mirror at it or putting one below it help it cook faster?

[@16yt72]

wow,this thing is geat!

[@thewraith1174]

That is freaking awesome, I want to get one of these. It would be short work here in Arizona☀️🌵 Looked it up... $229.00😕

[@Trytocookthis]

Is that parchment paper. Genius!! mmmmazing!

[@Iamrosey21111]

Are you able to clean the inside of the tube in case you pack it too tightly and it makes a mess

[@Borrego13xD]

In the label says "only food then are specificied for gosun" wich food are ?

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Going to need to make a rack to put it on the table.... The cookies were good baking test... Can you switch ends with the handle?

[@ChrisDIYerOklahoma]

The Rand Solar oven is $70 on Amazon (and has a larger diameter). You can buy a tray for it on eBay for $45. Build your own stand/reflector. Less than half the cost vs the GoSun and larger cylinder for cooking.

[@straintheory6598]

Would this cut down on the amount of gas you'd need to take with you to melt water on a high altitude expedition?

[@indigodragon7129]

Could a copper heat pipe be filled with gallium that would be super heated to make a titainium hot plate? Will not elemental shock cause the solar vacuum tube to fracture?

[@subhashischowdhury6171]

here in India, at summer it takes around 5-10 mins to cook raw meat, (depending on the amount) with this kind of stove. it cooks kabab faster than gas stove.

[@davidmoore657]

This would be a good compliment to a parabolic cooker. Cook veggys in this while preparing the meats for the dish cooker.

[@robertboydston3787]

Great product....as long as you stay away from mountains and forests....haha

[@ivelev]

You need to make yourself a sun-dial so that you always point the parabolic wings at the sun! It will cut the time in half

[@louisemcnamara2244]

i thought the same

[@GoSunSolar]

The reflectors are always in focus, so a few degrees off is no problem. With that said, we have a sun dial in development from the GoSun Grill to be added to the Sport in the coming months. :)

[@MrInvisibleFist]

A sun-dial is just a shadow, you can see the shadow cast from the pot plants on the table, the go-sun should be orientated the same way as the shadows fall to increase thermal uptake. More heat, faster cooking time. So in this case the go-sun was incorrectly oriented.

[@caelblanch2737]

aww man this is just cool do you watch every video about your stove?

[@snakesteve68]

This was one of my first attempts at using a GoSun so I was still learning...yes, it cooks so much faster when oriented correctly...and when there are not as many clouds as there were on this day.

[@jfairplane8520]

Very nice. But quite long as well. It's only doable if you do camping and prep at 15hr and hope to eat at 19. So using this before 11hr am or after 16hr... it must don'T work at all ?

[@veganvocalist4782]

Great when / if sun shines but here in liddle ole Cornwall , UK it’s been raining ☔️ near some 6months 🤣

[@snakesteve68]

Oh wow!

[@samsonven]

How safe it is will not it blast if it gets over heated

[@Ryux4x4]

When you have no power or fuel use power of the sun. I really don’t mind that it takes a little extra time to heat your food. If power goes out just put your food in there forget about it for a couple hours

[@dragonfly1414]

Now this give me a diy do it yourself ideal I just purchase reflective mirror and I just had to find me a glass jar for high heat, I just had to do some research the about glass jar I already had, thank for the video. oh btw I saw a guy paint glass jar in high heat on the out side.

[@BluesLicks101]

Is there a thermometer integrated into the design so you can see the tube's temperature? How do you clean it?

[@snakesteve68]

No thermometer but a great idea for sure. This is why I use the infrared unit but it is not required. I just wanted to show the viewer that it does indeed get hot inside the stove. For cleaning the tray it is stainless so very easy - just hot soapy water. For the tube it comes with a circular pad you can mount on the end of the tube that you then insert into the tube (after it has cooled down) to clean off all the gunk...but my stove has not needed to be cleaned yet even though I use it a lot.

[@SL-ui9dd]

yes, how do you clean it?

[@theerealatm]

A thermometer would be a perfect addition. That way you don't have to keep opening it.

[@Menice1153]

I live in Beaumont California if I used this during the summer it'll be fast get up too 110

[@QezaBara]

how do you clean the inner part of the tube?

[@snakesteve68]

Comes with a circular cleaning brush - very easy

[@masakikiriko13]

Aluminum foil would help GoSun alot. Make some enhanced Aluminum foiled cardboxs to reflect more sunlight to GoSun,and you can boil the water much faster.

[@snakesteve68]

I have never had any problem but that would prob help on a day with less sun.

[@masakikiriko13]

@@snakesteve68 Its ok to boil hot water without any Aluminum foil cardbox. But this will takes more times. To be honest(after using the GoSun Pro for 4 months),there are a lot of things to be considered(Weather,sunlight angle,food's components......etc). Seriously,GoSun is great but you REALLY need to know how to use it.

[@nealtran6844]

cooking time?

[@ronaldslater7755]

Looks like an outstandingly prepared vegan meal. I wish I could try a solar-cooked meal too. Can you post a link to the white barrel you made into a garden? It looks great!

[@snakesteve68]

Thanks!! We made the barrel in class after doing lots of research on KZbin. Just search around, there are many people making similar gardens just be sure to use a food grade barrel :-)

[@jiakabery3550]

Good for you my man! Had no idea you're vegan. I was just checking out the stove! Thanks for the video. Animals thank you too!

[@peggykiangala9872]

This is amazing! But maybe in our area it not working. We have not often sunny days. We live in the shadow of Hills and wood.😥

[@Geckogold]

I realize this post is 2 years old now, but they are working on a version that can be powered with a small battery called the Gosun Fusion. They claim it uses about as much power as a 100 watt light bulb for those cloudy days, or night cooking. You can also get a small battery pack and portable solar panels to charge up the battery during the day.

[@bdphourde]

You only need to open the tube enough to see some food to check. The more you open it, the more heat you let out.

[@venus9174]

How do you know the food is ready?

[@snakesteve68]

Lots of steam escaping and/or the GoSun Thermo cooking thermometer tells me so :-)

[@brb-ok8072]

but how to fry an egg for breakfast?

[@Alaska-Jack]

One could theoretically cook something in their car with the windows rolled up during the summer, as hot as it gets in my car I believe you could fry an egg inside.

[@___xyz___]

10:54 2 hours 5 minutes in total from fridge temperature to done cooked. This could be pretty nice if you can fit a ~90 minute activity into your schedule and return for a set table and ready meal. 12:33 25 minutes to bake home made cookies from (presumably) room temp to ready. That's a success to me. I might experiment with my batter. I can totally dig this given you can do it anywhere and it costs $0.

[@MarkBH70]

From what I've read, on Amazon, you don't have to watch it while it cooks, or even be there when it's done; it never burns the food, is what I've read. So while you might not want to cook for 12 hours, and have it overcooked, setting it out in full sun, and returning in 3 to 4 hours shouldn't ruin it. It does appear like a slow cooker, and function similarly--in the effect, not the method--in that when I do slow cooking, I can cook a roast for 5 hours, perhaps, or 8,9 or 10 hours, and it doesn't really hurt much, or destroy the food. Regards.

[@haladraj]

58 is the weather temp here.. i guess my greens can cook in 10 minutes here.

[@mariana7802]

[@snakesteve68]

It does, just takes it longer to cook.

[@mlovmo]

Two hours and five minutes to cook your lunch?

[@indranibarma8488]

I like this but it's only disadvantage is that it can cook only a small amount of food ie. It can cook only that amount of food which fits in it's tube😳

[@janefreeman995]

I think from what I've seen the ends don't cook as fast .... I've also seen a comparison between solar stoves where the gosun is much faster.

[@nickgordon7016]

your supposed to leave it out side to heat up same way you set the temp on your oven and wait for it to fully heat before you put anything it.

[@PrepFX]

Don't do that. I own two of these things. If you have no food in the tray, the temperature will rise way too quickly and cause a thermal shock which will either damage or completely shatter the tube.

[@nickgordon7016]

yea it dosent look pretty fragile. I'd probably only get the larger grill version because it dosent look as fragile

[@PrepFX]

Yeah, fast temperature gradients are hard on glass, even hard glass like these tubes. I have some of their solar doggers on the way so my kids can have some fun with them. I'm excited about the grill, but it'll be quite a while before I can pick one up due to price.

[@nickgordon7016]

I really think that grill is worth it tho. it's stores heat for later and it's portable, you really can't beat a portable grill that dosent need fuel.

[@PrepFX]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I completely see the value and plan to get one eventually, I just don't know how soon "eventually" is :-D I hope you have a good night!

[@angelisone]

Over $300.00 is not cheap. How much was yours, sir?

[@WhisperingFae]

maybe you should just put the stove out all day and whenever you want to cook it is already preheated. means, lesser cooking time?

[@trevethan82319841]

you might wanna order replacement glass tubes in case the one you have brakes

[@PrepFX]

crazyguy84 they actually come with a 2 year warranty on the tube.

[@kawesamukasa9485]

This tube Solar cooker is nice. Where can I buy it in East Africa? I use conical, box, Haines and parabolic Solar cookers at my Solar Cooking Restaurant in Uganda and l would like to try the vacuum Solar cooker as well.

[@Beobout6]

2 or 3 days of storm clouds and you're going to get pretty hungry. I guess you could always make a salad from your barrel...or throw a juicy real meat steak on the old charcoal grill.

[@liefhebbendelotje]

Dude you sound like Seth Rogen!!

[@TheRebelmanone]

It looks like a vacuum tube but its not, so what i am saying it should be. With being forced to use a tube, why not pull a vacuum on it, now thats science too. lol With no air in the tube the food will get hotter faster, and stay hot longer. That little pull out tray should have a class covering for reasons, one it will prevent splashes from food spraying on the solar tube, and with a seal you can pull the vacuum between the cooking tray chamber, and the solar chamber. I am not sure what it would be like if we pulled a vacuum in the chamber with the food in the same vacuum, how it will turn out sucking all the air out of the food. Could try it both ways, one way with sealed chambers, the inner chamber holds the food, one inside the other with a vacuum between the 2, and try it the other way with only one chamber, with only a tray and splash guard, and pull a vacuum on the food itself.

[@Emo666Cali]

the largest profit margins is apparently this companys goal, you can purchase these same kind of vaccume tube solar cookers over seas for 1/4 of the price.

For a sunny island like Haiti these could potentially cut out the destruction caused by the charcoal business. The deforestation is alarming. Haiti has the last little bit of coastal rainforest in the Caribbean. They are expensive and not a familiar item. BUT a charity could subsidise gosuns? The smoke from indoor charcoal cooking fires is obviously dangerous to the lungs. Does gosun do any charity work? In terms of botanical conservation and public health it's a no brainer. Is there a cultural resistance to a new way of cooking I wonder. It's always sunny in HAITI that's a fact !

Hey man next time let your food come up to room temp before you place in oven and it wont take one hour plus to cook vegetables that only take 5 -7 mins in a skillet, and btw those rinky dink cages you put around tomato plants are going to keep your plants short, when you can tie your tomatoes to a tressel that is 6 ft plus and have tomato plants over 8 ft tall with a higher yield of course.
