Manufacturing this would be as simple as an aluminized sheet of plastic with a locator hole where it is connected to make the ideal cone shape. Of course, then you are into manufacturing something instead of just using a 4x8 sheet and some glue and foil.
Anything non-flammable would work to raise a pot up into the focal point, if that were even neccessary: The point might be right where a pot sits on the bottom surface anyway. Is there some way you could simplify this design? [that's a joke, probably can't simplify this much. beyond making a different custom shape flat sheet] Note: What is this sheet of material called, in Home Depot or some store like that?
