So it’s no surprise that I ended up on their blog reading about experimentation with a Fresnel Lens.

This concept for a fresnel lens is really nifty (hadn’t seen anything like it before) and could be applied (in a smaller lens, or by focusing the indirect light of the focal point on some kind of flat cooking surface) to actually cook food in your backyard.
Of course, there’s danger here too so it’s something to be aware of, but check it out.
