 ABSTRACT

This study aimed to find out if an old shoebox and a thick tin foil can be

converted to a more useful piece of cooking equipment. The feasibility of

reflective solar heated grill that is built from a cardboard box, tin foil, and

posterboard as an alternative cooking equipment was studied in this

research project. The cardboard box was cut and shaped. The tin foil is

settled in the middle making it looks like a slide. We go outside in

the heat of the sun. The barbeque sticks were placed in the spot where

reflection of the sunlight focuses on the hotdog, just like a real skewerthe

hotdog were cooked there for minutes. Tasted it. And voila. Real hotdogs on

stick just like mom used to cook.

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study was conducted August 07, 2010 to August 10, 2010.finalized in a
day.
It is limited to the use of carton box, tin foil. Glues, muskin tape barbeque
sticks,and
hotdogs.yummy.
The conversion of an old carton box into a solar heated grill is the main
concern of this
research. The output can be done by properly assembling it.
DEFINITION OF TERMS

defined.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Hot Dogs rank right up there Hamburgers as the favorite summer
food. However,
while people can take a homemade hamburger seriously, the hot dog tends
to be
something inexpensive and flavorless. It's for this reason that I don't
generally like hot
dogs. I prefer something better in the grill. This is why it's better to put a
sausage in the
grill rather than those expensive fastfood hot dogs.
If you happen to be one of the world's 2 billion people who don't eat pork
you are in
luck. There are a lot of hot dog variations out there that are as good as the
original.
Sausages made from turkey, beef, chicken are loaded with flavors and in
some instances
superior to there pork counterparts. You can usually find these available in
local health
food stores or specialty meat markets.
There are probably as many ways to top off a hot dog as there are ways to
top of a
hamburger.you top your dog in this order: yellow mustard, relish, onions,
tomatoes,
pickles, peppers, and celery salt. I like ahot and spicy mustard. And few
things can
make a meal out of a hot dog like a heavy dose of chili. However you like
your hot dogs
start out with a good dog and you'll get something no one can refuse.

METHODOLOGY
Materials/Equipment:
1. Two pieces of heavy cardboard (like the side of a cardboard carton). The
first piece
must be at least ten inches square

and the second smaller piece must be at least four inches by five inches.

2. A piece of light posterboard eight inches wide and sixteen inches long.

3. Twelve-inch wide aluminum foil. (You will use about 32 inches of the

material.)

4. Some masking tape. (You may experiment with other types of tape.)

5. Nine inch long sticks about 1/16 inch in diameter. You may also use

lengths of heavy
wire.
