Introduction
The Reflective Dish is the element of the Parabolic Solar Cooker which is responsible for creating heat to cook with. The dish is shaped in a way that reflects all light hitting it toward one single focal point, allowing for the heating effect to take place.
The dish has a large diameter in order to collect as much light as possible and make cooking efficient. In fact, it's so big that it comes in six pieces that need assembling. Thus, this guide serves as a reference to show you how to properly assemble your Parabolic Dish.

-
Lay two triangular sections side-by-side with pointed edges and bases adjacent to each other.

Use the 10 mm nuts and bolts to attach the two plates together. First, hand thread each bolt/nut pair, then use two 10 mm wrenches secure them.
-
DO NOT install a nut and bolt in the THIRD hole from the center (pointed end of the section). This is where the Pipe Ring Bracket is attached later on.

-
Install the 10mm nut/bolt again but with the bolt passing through the single holed side of the bracket. Hand thread and use 10mm wrenches to tighten.
