Solar oven

 Hard boiled eggs in 4.5 hours at 4500 feet.  May have been done in 4 but didn’t check.  Temp 82 degrees at 2 pm.  Put eggs in a paper carton into a preheated solar oven.  Keep oven focused on the sun turning every 20-30 minutes.  Note the heavier the clouds the longer it will take, also cooler temps can increase the cook time.

Solar ovens have little or no smell while cooking unlike grilling.

Jackalop In Wyoming

 Here is a model of one in Douglas Wyoming and me next to it.

 Charging one of my tool batteries with no problem.  Remember this 290 only has a 200 watt pure sine inverter, so charging batteries for higher wattage items is the way to go for me. Photo also shows the chiller I covered in an earlier post.

Solar connected to RV battery bank

 Now have 400 watts of solar connected to our 3 house lead acid batteries for 160 usable amp hours.  Still need to run a wire from the batteries to inverter to the bedroom so I can plug-in my O2 equipment and CPAP. I also my run a 12 volt DC plug to the kitchen.

Jackery update July

 Using my Jackery with my HAM Radio I draw 8 watts listening and 21 watts talking.  If I ever talked at a fifty percent rate I would have a 19 hour operations time.

If I only talk twenty percent I would have over 28 hours not bad for a 290 watt Jackery.
