Abstract
The purpose of this Master Thesis project was to create a new innovative product meant to combat the amount of waste created using disposable grills during summer. The proposed solution offers a sustainable and fire-safe alternative for cooking outside during summertime and aims to spread this danish tradition all over the globe.The ambition of the product is to create awareness around how the available resources on earth are used, and to take advantage of the resources that will not run out, like the sun. This has been achieved by the development of a product that uses a Fresnel lens and thereby benefits from the power of the sun. The use of this simple and effective technology should create awareness among people in a country like Denmark, where Outdoor cooking is a big part of the Danish summer culture. The result is a portable and durable product, designed to live up to modern living standards. The product proposal has been developed in collaboration with Artlinco, who has assisted with feedback and knowledge in materials and manufacturing processes.
