Stirling generator attached to a pizza oven

[Tinkererr]

How did you find PF?

I was researching Stirling Generators and found the most relevant information on this site.

In retirement it is my goal to bake pizza in the wilderness by installing a wood burning oven in the bed of an EV truck. I would wish to be able to generate enough power to charge my vehicle. In my research I came across this site and discovered a Stirling Generator. It seems like I could custom build an oven incorporating a Sterling motor to power a generator. What little research I've done on EV's is that they have a minimum charge rate and it will more than likely fall outside of the capacity of a pizza oven fire box. Has anyone ever experimented with generating power from a fireplace or some other heat source?
