This is too cool. I had the Yoder out in the sun and the cooking chamber was 225 degrees without a fire. That’s too cool, I could start a cook at 3AM and let the cook continue with only the sun later in the day. When we lived in Arizona 1986 our remote controlled RC club we cooked hotdogs in black mailbox’s the weenies
and the buns.
I can certainly see that. I have been surprised at how hot the internal temp of my Chimp pellet grill is in direct afternoon sun when the ambient temp is 96 F!
I did a rack of ribs yesterday in my Yoder, they never cooked so fast. Same size butcher cut ribs, same temp, just insanely hot, especially for here. The Yoder was in the full sun. Maybe i didn't burn many pellets.
I'm gonna need to see proof of this. I have various cooking devices and the highest I've seen temps above ambient of 99ish F is 130F, upon further research at an ambient temp of 120F the highest recorded metal temp was 140ish.... 225 feels like quite the stretch.
I grew up in the southwest desert and I recall cooking hotdogs and other things in shoeboxes and other devices using tinfoil and cellophane but it has nothing to do with ambient temps. However I also cooked a few meals in Iraq and Afghanistan on the dash of the work equipment. My go to was cup o noodles type stuff or unopened cans of beenie weenies etc...

Tonto Basin Arizona great place for the winter time. Was fishing Roosevelt Lake January 1st
2006 and the temperature was 70 degrees no wind and caught 13 crappie. We are going to start wintering out there again soon and come home first week of April. I can’t stand the cold weather anymore. The heat doesn’t bother me either. As they say the heat wipes off. I can’t wipe away 25 degrees.
