I'm not sure I understand the connection between competitive boomerang-ing and the need for a solar powered cooking device, but never mind. I'm excited about this more sophisticated version of the hot dog cookers my class made in sixth grade, which we used to cook our own lunches at the end-of-the-year picnic (mine worked okay, not great). I really love projects that I can do with my kids that kill a lot of time and result in something we can eat, so we may be trying this one out—or if not this one, one of the many other solar cookers that you can make from plans available all over the internet and power with summer's glow.
According to my sister-in-law and her daughters, you can make a hell of a cobbler in a solar oven. Doesn't that sound better on a camping trip than nasty old s'mores? I might not have to rely on my husband's campfire-making skills forever.
