Grilling season is right around the corner, but instead of running out to stock up on propane or charcoal, why not harness the power of the sun? The GoSun Grill ($799) uses parabolic reflectors to focus 250 watts of solar power on a vacuum-sealed tube, which reaches temperatures up to 425 degrees. The portable 30-pound cooker "can grill, bake, or broil anything you throw in it." As long as you don't let the sun go down on your picnic, "the only limitation you'll face using this is remembering to bring the paper plates."
