When so and so objects to a solar cooker because without the 7 mile walk for firewood, they'd never see Uncle Bob, suggest that they fire-cook once or twice a week as a treat, or on days when it's overcast. Also, I never figured out how to fry or saute on our solar cooker. That's another excuse to fire-cook once or twice a week. One more idea. If there are foods that come out better on the solar cooker (for me, rice!), use that as an excuse to visit Uncle Bob - to bring him a pot of your solar special.
