When one of my kids was in 7th grade I gave her science teacher D500 he used it to heat his lunch and cook a burger durring his lunch break, it worked so well he asked for a super dish covered it with mylar placed a platform at the end of the arm and can now cook 2 burgers or a box of Mac and cheese.

FWIW the WildBlue dishes make better bird baths. They are bigger, the mount is more adjustable, and configuring them as a bird bath transforms them from almost useless to useful*

This is one thing I do with old dishes, I just spray paint targets on them and off to the river I go. I do bring them back home to the recycle bin.

That's Laux Beta 9 installed some of those. Good C/Ku dishes but pretty heavy. Excellent Gazebo.

That's true that it was a great C/Ku dish but many aren't used any more and at least it is not in the dump.
