Oddly, I have been out house shopping and my brother and I have discussed warm
floors more than once. We have decided to go with the product(s) of
http://www.radiantec.com/index.php who have been doing this for some time.
Their web site presents just about what Phil and I figured such a system would
look/work like and about the same pricing as we had guesstimated. I especially
appreciate that they have done the homework on using solar in conjunction with
"conventional" water heating methods. Might as well get some of that tax money
I have been sending to the gummint to come back to me it I can.  Bv)=

It's worth a look if you like the warm floors. BTW - all of the places I am
looking at are well under 1000 sq. ft. in area being as I am single and not
wishing to expand on that situation.

      Title: Solar Roast Pork w/Apples, Pear, Cabbage & Caraway
 Categories: Pork, Fruits, Vegetables
      Yield: 5 Servings
 
      1 kg Pork chops; thick cut,
           - boneless
      1 cl Garlic; peeled & crushed
    1/2 ts (ea) Salt & pepper; to taste
      1 tb Olive oil
    1/2 tb Caraway seeds

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      1 sm Onion; diced
      2    Apples (any kind); peeled,
           - cored, in 1" (2.5cm) cubes
      1    Pear; peeled, cored,  in 1"
           - (2.5cm) cubes
    1/2 sm Head of cabbage; coarse
           - chopped
      2    Turkish bay leaves
    1/2 ts Salt; to taste
 
  Use two solar oven pots.
  
  The Sport solar oven bakes pork that stays moist and absorbs
  the rich flavors of the condiments while it breaks down to
  that delightful fork tender, stringy-meat expected from
  great pot roasts
  
  MAKE THE DISH: Rub the garlic all over the meat. Place one
  pound of meat in each Sport cooking pot and toss it with the
  olive oil, caraway seeds and salt & pepper.
  
  In a bowl, mix the onion, apple, pear, cabbage, bay and
  salt. Then add the mixture to the meat in the cooking pot.
  
  Put the tops on the pots and the pots in the oven. Clip the
  clear lid to the oven. Point the oven toward the sun so the
  sun shadow is straight behind the oven. Then rotate the oven
  clockwise 30 degrees and leave it undisturbed for 4 hours.
  About 1:30 PM, to optimize sun power, check for doneness and
  stir the mixture well. Close the oven and then re-point it
  directly at the sun and then rotate it 30 degrees clockwise.
  
  Cooking Time 5 - 6 hours
  
  Serves 4 - 6.
  
  Start by 10 a.m, finish cooking by 3-4 p.m. Food will keep
  warm in oven until dinnertime.
