The Kyoto solar oven design won its developer, Jon Bohmer, the Financial Times Climate Change Challenge.
The simple design combines use of direct and reflected sunlight along with insulating methods to heat a chamber to cooking temperatures.
This design is simple to repeat with common household and items easily available from the local hardware store. The resulting oven cooks in a method similar to crock pots or slow-cookers and is well suited to cooking rice, beans or stews.

1) Dig a hole.
2) Heat some rocks in a fire.
3) Add some of the rocks to the hole.
4) Add the thing you're trying to cook.
5) Add the rest of the rocks, back-fill the hole and wait.
Simple as that. No need to waste time building a clay oven... Unless you get need to eat pizza after the SHTF.

Good for smoking, although smoking in an inefficient preserver and only keeps meat a short time without a cool place to store it. Two weeks max in the icebox, if I remember correctly.
