Good work Solar! As to finding ready data on the heat collected for a specific oven, I think the commercial manufacturers play those cards close to the vest as they are in competition with one-another.
Because so many variables affect the temperature of any solar oven, such as surface area of reflector, type of reflecting material, cleanliness of reflector, hours & intensity of sunlight available, size of receiver, material of receiver, contents of receiver, insulation of receiver, ambient air temp, etc., I expect the type of experimentation you have started is the best source for developing a rough range of expected temperatures.
Please by all means continue posting your measurements as you have them.
