Latest revision as of 18:40, 3 March 2007

This page contains a list of various types of solar cookers. The list was extracted from the Compendium of solar cooker designs because we felt it didn't add to the various cooker overviews already in the compendium. But seeing this list, looking at the compendium, and looking at the plans page on the archive - this all makes me think we should have a cooker design overview page on the wiki. The page should have a compact presentation of different designs - preferrably in gallery format - with links to plans pages (if they exist) and to the discussion in the compendium. Comments? --Beth Ogilvie 18:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure - I'll do that. I'll put it on To do so I won't forget. Beth Ogilvie 18:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
