It adds nothing to the article. Anyway, the solar cooking pizza box concept is neat. I have never built one but know how to. Would be handy in an emergency (like The Blackout we had here in the northeast several years ago.) We could have cooked a frozen steak on the balcony, -thus having hot food at least during the day. I like another 'reclaimed heat cooker' that works a charm; wrap a steak in multiple layers of tin foil and lie it upon the motor or your car, secured so as to not fly around in there or get tangled up in cables (accelerator cable, etc.) and drive to wherever. If the drive is several hours long, the meat is cooked when you arrive (roadside rest area, picnic ground where no campfires are permitted, etc.). Baked potatoes, -same thing. You have 'reclaimed' waste heat from the car's running motor and you can eat a hot meal 'on the road' while you travel cross-state etc. All this mention of “Part A”, “Part B” and “Part C” and no diagrams to show anything is a little bit pointless and suggests that the content was copied & pasted from actual instructions.
