A homemade solar oven needs to be properly insulated, and with a non-toxic lining i.e. a lining that is not going to give off fumes as it heats up.

We had so much rain and so many cloudy days though, that I really didn't get the temps I needed. Hopefully we'll have a better weather balance this year and I can use it a lot more.
