<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One of the main problems encountered with solar cookers (K14, K16 and so on) in the last big GIZ effort in North-West Province of South Africa was, in spite of the rural location, theft of the
stoves for sale to scrap merchants. Aluminum is valuable. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Another common problem is wind tipping them over.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A third is wind-blown dust getting into the food.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A fourth is theft of the food.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A fifth is storage of the unit. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">People have little space in their homes and storage of a valuable cooker outdoors is not practical.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">GIZ spent about 7m Euros on that project and declared no further interest in solar cookers.<o:p></o:p></p>
