Backyard Cooking Made Easy & Yum
Hi. Welcome to Back Yard Yum. I'm Matt, and I created this site to give my readers a place to come for inspiration in using solar cookers.
So many people have solar cookers and do nothing but store them in the garage for "emergency use". I'm here to tell you that you can use solar cookers on any day with sunshine! No need to wait for an emergency.
I want to share that type of inspiration with you all.
In addition to solar, you'll find the occasional recipes for grilling and smoking foods too.
I am always adding new recipes so please check back or subscribe for updates.
