Meet the Helios, an energy efficient outdoor cooker. Its only a concept so far. The satellite looking dish collects solar energy and heats a coil inside the barbecue to cook the food. You only have cookouts on bright sunny days. You might as well put the sun’s rays to good use!

If however you need to barbecue at night you can always plug it in an electrical outlet. The plug is retractable and is stored in the base. The dish itself is easily retracted for easy storage as seen below.
