Hi Frank, Paul and All, This leads my thoughts to concentrating sunlight using a magnifying glass, or a parabolic reflector. I have a small gas, cylinder mounted heater, that uses a glowing mesh tube and parabolic reflector.
So maybe we need a parabolic reflector surrounding the stove dome ? Might even reduce the 4 minute boiling time.!

C - if I understand what you are saying. You can focus heat to an object (pot) using light colored materials directed at an angle to do that. Great experiment!
