A substantially vertical pipe is positioned in the opening and the vertical pipe is capable of rotation relative to the foundation pipe. A stove is releasably attached to the vertical pole. A downward sloping arm is fixed to the top end of the vertical pole. A vertical adjustment member is slidably positionable on the downward sloping arm. The vertical adjustment member is capable of adjustment in height. A frame supporting a solar lens is pivotally attached to the vertical adjustment member. The vertical adjustment member is used to adjust the frame, and the solar lens, so that the solar lens directs solar energy to the stove. It is also contemplated that a solar panel or solar collector be positioned in place of the solar lens.
