Has anyone tried using this on a sunny day during very cold weather?

Yes we have. It takes about 10% longer to cook, we live at 7400ft above sea level. We begin cooking very early in the day and rotated the oven hourly for the best sun concentration. At 30f it took 30 minutes for the oven to heat to 250f. We baked a crumb cake in just about three hours. Just make certain your oven is zipped completely closed and that you use the darker enamel pans. These are awesome and a great value! Enjoy

I have used the sunflair here in central Wyoming in January with a temp of 20F and no wind. It did steaks and onions just fine. The cooking pots that came with it heated up nicely. I have not tried it with cold temps and winds up.

It won't work on cloudy days. Most of the time it worked very little on sunny days. Very ineffective. I wouldn't waste my money again and I definitely would not recommend this product to anyone.

I used it on SKS. Recoil is not nearly the same. Not good in sunny conditions at all. Holds the zero with my SKS and great for plunking.

Needs to be used on a hot sunny day. I mix it with citrus oil and a few drops of clove oil.

The coldest temp I used it in was about 25 degrees. It worked just fine. I highly recommend it.

Well, since I live in Florida I cannot answer from my own experience, but the solar light has rechargeable batteries in it, so as with any battery, they don't work very well in sub-zero temps, if at all, unfortunately. Also, as the other person noted, the solar panel cannot recharge the batteries in the Winter in your area. Not enough sunlight hours. It does require a minimum of 4-6 hours direct sunlight on the panel.

It is quite cold. Works best if your camera has manual white balance or color/tint settings. You could also use acetates over the lights to warm them up.

I've used it on plants in the sun in hot weather without problem, but I consider it hot if it is above 80 degrees F.in the shade.

I used mine at an indoor range at 25 yds. Don't see why it wouldn't handle colder weather. Think my fingers would freeze before this thing. You might have problems seeing the red dot on a sunny day the farther you go out. It's a cheap enough product to give it a try.

I have not tried it, but believe it can. Works best when pointed directly at the sun though...

I have not used outside in cold. but I'm sure if it was under a tent it would be fine or if not It runs on batteries so all good just don't get batteries wet. good luck!! I'm going to try the cold :) :)

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

I just used it (first day of summer) and felt it was perfect, but I get cold easily... Hope that helps.

Yes, it can. It also has a pressure release valve on the top. It does need some good sun and a bit of time to boil. And, of course, the warmer the day, the faster it will boil. We haven't tried it on a cold sunny day yet. But I'm confident it will work. The water does get hot.

I'd say it would work very well. Just put a shirt on first because it get really cold!

Sorry, I have not used it in that situation (Mostly because I don't work well in heavy rain/snow. :) )

I have not had good luck with that. It needs to be in full-sun all day. I have also experienced issues with the fact that I have a lot of animals that come through the area and it doesn't seem to hold the charge well if it get's set off often.
