Has the technology for solar cooking moved on much from your Spanish
installation?
What conditions, latitudes etc.  make solar cooking deployable, Here at 51
degrees North and a maritime climate I doubt there are more than a handful
of days I could rely on it.

I for one  find solar cooking interesting and it is probably relevant for
[stoves] to be kept informed, discussion of other issues about the human
condition are best discussed elsewhere.
