Summer is a grilling season, but due to standard outdoor cooking setups, we often can’t enjoy ourselves. This is because you need to manage a variety of supplies such as a chimney, lighter fluid, and charcoal during the grilling session. In case of a gas grill, you need propane and an extra person to help you transport the grill. If you’re already tired of these messy BBQ grills, you need this new solar-powered GoSun Grill that’s designed to make outdoor cooking a much simpler and fun experience.

It boasts curved, futuristic aesthetic, plus its functional parts are sleek and shiny. The shiny parabolic mirrors help in collecting solar energy and deflect that heat onto the cooking chamber. The chamber is further able to hold onto about 80-percent of that heat, all thanks to a vacuum tube that serves as insulation – it allows the grill to reach temperatures higher than 430°F. That’s hot enough to cook just about anything you want. Moreover, an external temperature gauge takes the guesswork out of your cooking.

But one thing that we want to clear is that it is not an ideal replacement for the gas or charcoal grill in your backyard. This is because of its smaller-capacity, a trough-shaped cooking chamber is not able to fit a mess of burgers, dogs, or corn. Plus, you won’t get those classic grill marks on food without metal racks. Even you won’t get that delicious, smoky flavor that ordinary grills impart in your food.

However, there are plenty of recipes that can be prepared on this solar grill. For example, soups, vegetables, meatloaf, uncut poultry, loaves of bread, cakes, eggs, and cookies. The oven chamber takes nearly 20-30 minutes to preheat, and cooking time takes from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the volume of food and the recipe.

It is available for purchase on the official website for $799.
