Camping just got better—with the GoSun Sport, you can cook food wherever you are without having to drag a bulky grill with you. The long, cylindrical gadget may look bizarre at first glance, but it's a portable solar cooker. And it weighs only 8 pounds.

At $249, it's a bit of an investment—more so than a portable Weber tabletop grill—but its size, convenience and geeky-cool factor (c'mon, you're harnessing the power of the sun to cook!) may be enough to sway you. The solar stove has folded reflectors that use the sun to generate heat when opened. When you're ready to cook, you insert the food into the cooking chamber, in the middle, and there you have it—a gourmet meal in the wilderness. Bonus: The GoSun Sport can cook food as fast as 2o minutes. And good news: Today, you can score this grill for $199 thanks to Amazon Prime Day. Even better news? This is one deal not limited to Prime members—just check off the coupon box below the price before you add it to your cart to save $50.

While the exterior of this nifty device is cool to the touch, the interior gets super hot. The portable stove can reach temperatures up to 550 degrees F.

"I've used it at home and camping, and it is everything it claims to be," one reviewer wrote. "I've made steak and onions, pasta, chicken, pizza bites and hotdogs. It is portable and easy to clean. It gets hot!"

It's compact enough to easily stow with your camping gear, but GoSun Sport also sells a carrying case to ensure it's protected, wherever your journey takes you.
