We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

How about a piece of metal painted black which is the size you require? It would get pretty hot in direct sunlight.

*Edit*

Steal one of your mum's baking trays and paint it black. That should do the trick.
