And you know me, I obviously also had the solar cigarette lighter. Here's an idea, indirectly courtesy of Gerry Scappaticci: You might start a little side-line there (or partner with someone) offering a solar tracker mount for themz that use their cooker at home. You'd just need someone to fabricate the parts for an equatorial mount, and throw on a $35 Celestron motor mount, powered by a solar cell, of course! It could be a simple frame design with a single screw gear. You could probably produce a plug in version for around $55~$65 in materials, make it easy to assemble, and sell it for easily double that plus shipping and handling. Add the cost of a 12V solar cell for the full-on solar one. Just an idea...
