Onliest problem I got with it is thet you used up aloonuem foil what could
have been used to make a beanie to reflektocate them mind control waves from
the international space station. Lord man...dont ya know there is a war on?


But I did make a solar cooker oncest and used discarded aluminized mylar
(truest story) An it cooked taters and carrots jest fine. So I don't see why
your invention wooden work as long as the pipe is insulated reel good and
off the ground a bit. Course how cold it is outside might have somethin to
do with it. My solar cooker was propped off the ground with a small piece of
2X4 an it would bout boil water. But I never did try it in the winter
though.

One thought...maybe puttin a layer of clear plastic over the exposed pipe
would help keep the air around the pipe warmer.
I used one of them plastic turkey cookin bags and put a mason jar painted
black in it and blew into it. (provided the needed CO2) an put it in the
center of the funnel shaped solar cooker. It got so hot that you would burn
your fingers if ya touched the jar with bare hands after only 1 hour.
