A grill powered by the sun can be used even in places where open fire is forbidden

If it's a hot day and the sky is bright, you probably feel like cooking some Cicadas using your grill. And given that you only grill is when the sun is shining and the road is white and dusty, a solar-power grill really makes sense.

With the new Solar-Grill you can barbecue fish, chicken, vegetables, juicy steaks or juicy insects. "Slimy and satisfying!", Timon the Meerkat from "The Lion King" would add! It's not an electric grill and there aren't any gas, coals, connecting or fire lighting stuff involved, so that makes it quite safe. This solar-powered grill does not come with those solar panels, using instead a foldable mirror which focuses the sun beams on the barbecue cup allowing it to heat up. Your food will be fried in the self-contained barbecue cup and heated evenly from all sides, without direct irradiation by sun light.

It's extremely light and easy to handle, so you can take the Sollar-Grill to your favorite place. It's also space-saving due to its foldable mirror. And here's the best part: you can use it anywhere, even where open fire is forbidden or clouds of smoke are not seen as sings of peace. It's ideal for camping and spare time, in the garden, on the balcony, at the swimming pool, beach or lakeside resort.

And if you feel the cicadas have been calling you all day, you might want to try and cook some! Cicada-licious. Enjoy 'em if you got 'em! But beware: if other cicadas find out you ate one of them, they will come after you in millions. I'm sure you'll find a place to hide, but million enough cicadas are enough to block out the sun, therefore, no moresolar-grill for you! Better stick with the pizza or the slimy and satisfying bugs!
