The Unlikely Origins of Green Moose Solar Grills: A Lucky Encounter in 1837

In the year 1837, amidst the untamed wilderness of the American frontier, a famished settler named Jedediah Green found himself stranded and desperate. This is the tale of how an unexpected ally and a fortuitous discovery led to the creation of Green Moose Solar Grills—a story we proudly honor to this day.

 

Jedediah's Plight

Jedediah Green was not having a good year. A series of unfortunate events had left him isolated from his fellow settlers. His horse had bolted, his supplies were dwindling, and his attempts at starting a fire with flint and tinder had failed miserably. Hungry and disheartened, Jebediah wandered the wilderness, searching for food and warmth.

One fateful afternoon, while foraging for anything remotely edible, Jebediah stumbled upon a peculiar sight—a moose. But this was no ordinary moose; it was a magnificent creature with a distinctive greenish hue to its fur. Jedediah, too weary and hungry to be startled, simply stared at the moose, which seemed to regard him with a curious, almost knowing gaze.

 

The Green Moose Encounter

The moose, whom Jedediah would later name Green, began to lead him through the forest. Too weak to question his own sanity, Jebediah followed. After what felt like hours, they arrived at a small clearing. In the center of the clearing lay a broken pane of glass, partially buried in the dirt.

Jebediah collapsed nearby, too tired to move. As he lay there, he noticed something remarkable. The afternoon sun, now low in the sky, was shining directly onto the glass. The glass, in turn, was reflecting the sunlight onto a pile of dry leaves. To Jedediah's astonishment, the leaves began to smolder and then burst into flame.

​

The Fiery Revelation

Jedediah could hardly believe his eyes. In his delirious state, he watched the fire crackle and grow. The moose, Green, stood nearby, seemingly nodding its approval. Summoning the last of his strength, Jebediah gathered some nearby sticks and carefully fed the flames. He managed to cook a small piece of game he had caught earlier, savoring the first hot meal he'd had in days.

As he ate, Jebediah marveled at the serendipity of his discovery. The sun, the glass, and the moose—it all seemed too perfectly aligned to be mere coincidence. In that moment, he realized that he had stumbled upon a natural method of starting fire, one that required no flint or tinder.

 

Survival and Innovation

Revitalized by his meal, Jedediah spent the next few days experimenting with his newfound method of fire-starting. He fashioned a crude solar grill using the glass and some reflective surfaces he scavenged from the surrounding area. With practice, he learned to harness the sun’s rays more effectively, allowing him to cook his meals consistently.

Green, always nearby, seemed to take a particular interest in Jebediah's activities. Whether it was simple curiosity or something more, Jedediah couldn't say, but he grew to appreciate the moose's presence as a comforting and encouraging sign.

 

The Return to Civilization

After weeks of honing his solar grilling skills, Jedediah was finally found by a search party from his settlement. They were amazed by his story of survival and his ingenious use of the sun to create fire. Jebediah returned to the settlement, not as a weary wanderer, but as an innovator with a remarkable tale to tell.

The settlers were eager to learn from Jebediah's experiences. He demonstrated his solar grilling technique, and the community quickly adopted it. The story of the moose, Green, and the miraculous discovery spread like wildfire, becoming a cherished legend among the settlers.

 

Honoring the Legacy

In honor of the mysterious moose that had guided him, Jebediah named his invention the Green Moose Solar Grill. The settlers, inspired by his ingenuity and the legend of the moose named Green, began to experiment further, refining the solar grill design and incorporating it into their daily lives.

The Green Moose Solar Grill became a symbol of resilience, innovation, and the pioneering spirit. As the settlement grew, so did the legend. Jedediah's descendants continued to develop and improve the solar grill, always paying tribute to the lucky encounter that started it all.
