Beautifully designed and effective at cooking food from only the sun.

The Go Sun Stove is unique solar cooker that gives you the ability to cook your food wherever you go. Whether you’re on a hike, camping, at the beach, boating, fishing, on a road trip or in your backyard, the Go Sun Stove is capable of roasting, frying, steaming, baking or boiling your food with the power of the sun. Actually, it works even when it’s cloudy or overcast — cooking just takes a little longer under those conditions.

Will the GoSun Stove work in winter?

Yes, as long as it’s sunny. The GoSun Stove can even cook in the Arctic if it’s sunny. The sun rays create heat within the GoSun tube. The tube is designed to keep the heat in and the freezing cold out.

The Go Sun Stove is ultra portable and easy to setup and start using.

Compact, Portable and Powered by the Sun

Some people may see the the Go Sun Stove as only for people who spend a lot of time camping or for hard core outdoor lovers but I think the audience for this product is much broader than that. For starters, the GoSun Stove can be used all-year-round, even in winter, so if your power goes out due to a snowstorm or blizzard you can make your neighbors jealous and start cooking in your backyard without power, in the middle of winter.  Although, if you’re nice, you’d invite them over to join you.

This is a great product to have in case of an emergency or a natural disaster, but more than that, it’s something you can take with you and have the peace of mind that you can feed yourself indefinitely without having to worry about running out of fuel.

Works best with small bite size pieces of food.

GoSun | The Company

As with many products these days, the Go Sun Stove started on Kickstarter and the company raised over $200, 000 to get this product manufactured and in the hands of the public. Although it’s only been on the market for a relatively short period of time, the Go Sun Stove is gaining ground quickly and has already proven itself to be worth the money.

GoSun is a company divided into two divisions that share the same technology: GoSun Stove and GoSun Global. GoSun Global is a social enterprise that aims to do good in the world by helping third-world countries with their technology. It’s always nice to write about a company making a change in the world and GoSun is clearly doing that.

How it Works | Go Sun Stove

Compact and portable for hiking or camping trips.

If the conditions are right (sunny day) the Go Sun Stove can cook a meal in 20 minutes. It can reach temperatures over 550°F (290°C), and will even cook your food under cloudy skies. The GoSun Sport truly is an impressive feat of engineering.

Pushing the limits of science, the evacuated glass tube is made from the incredibly durable borosilicate. It’s an almost perfect insulator, preserving and maintaining the majority of heat it takes in. Because of its highly efficient solar gathering system, you can cook in the most extreme conditions.

The cooking time varies depending on the current conditions.

The Go Sun Stove effectively captures light from a wide range of angles and because of that, it doesn’t require frequent readjustment, like other solar cookers.

Should you buy the GoSun Stove?

This isn’t like other solar cookers. The Go Sun Stove has an innovative design that completely encloses your food. It’s a clever approach that speeds up the cooking process and improves the quality of food. It’s highly efficient at capturing solar rays.

If you’re someone who loves the outdoors and you’re tired of having to worry about running out of fuel with more traditional cookers then this is a must buy. But beyond the obvious outdoorsy person, I can also recommend this for casual family outings to the beach or the park.

And lastly, this is a very good backup cooking device for emergency situations, like an earthquakes or a power outage in the middle of winter.

It’s an expensive solar cooker but you will get your money’s worth over time and you’ll never spend another dime for fuel costs. If you like to invest in quality products and can afford the cost then I highly recommend the GoSun Stove.
