Interesting project. The author seems to indicate that he would like to use aluminium tape but he can't find some in the Canary Islands. He has used fairly rigid aluminium sheets that he had cut to size.

He doesn't use the handle to position his oven, but another system.

And above he puts his pot in a pyrex to create a greenhouse effect. This seems to be an excellent idea!
