When they all converge on one spot, it will get hot! A friend tried this and almost started the house across the street on fire!

We got three from every place we asked at! They're cylindrical, which is great for rocket stoves but for a solar oven you'd probably want to cut the tops and bottoms off (you need tin snips 'cos domestic tin openers won't cope with the deep seams around the edges of these big containers). Then cut along the side seam and that should give you big rectangular sheets of shiny metal, which you can cut to the sizes and shapes you need and fix together with pop rivets. BTW although this would make quite a sturdy solar oven, it would still rust so would need to be covered or kept indoors to make it last.

The biggest problem I see with my solar oven is the constant need to track it to sun. Seems I'm outside every few minutes turning the box. It works good, though. Gets plenty hot for cooking most anything; beans, roast etc. As to recycled materials: the foam insulated board from building sites would be perfect if you can find some scraps. An old piece of glass for the lid and used foil inside. Need a black pot for the inside to focus the heat. I had a black porcelain one already so used it.
