Solar oven improvements

Today I'm going to make some improvements to the solar oven setup.
First, the pot needs to be blackened so that it will absorb more heat.
It's so easy, even I can do it.
The pot needs to be propped up on some kind of wire stand. After several hours of painstaking research, I have come up with the following solution:
Take a wire hanger. Straighten the hook out, but leave the ends twisted together. Then, using whatever plier-like implement you happen to have on hand, bend a bunch of kinks into it so that you form a top and legs. While you are doing this, imagine that you are a genius inventor. Now you have a stand for your pot so that more heat will be reflected to the bottom of the pot when you're cooking something.
