Solar Cooking Fresnel Lens Dutch Oven

Quote from description....
Published on Sep 25, 2012

First attempt to cook with a dutch oven and a fresnel lens. Worked okay, took three hours to make. Good for small container cooking, don't know if it will work on larger kettles. Fresnel lens and Dutch oven purchased thru A Plus Survival in Santa Ana. At the end of cooking when I was putting it in the bowl the front leg gave out and it all went on the ground, the second one I cooked the day after this was chicken and dumplings. That was great...
I'm considering this.  There's potential danger in it, though.  These lenses are powerful and can be dangerous.

Update:

Greenpowerscience sells Fresnel lenses.  The link to the left calculates out to 777 watts solar thermal power potential.
