We have used a solar cooker (in Denver) made by a friend of ours from CSprings. He builds his cookers out of recycled parts (does not believe in currency). While quite bulky, we have baked turkeys and roasts with no problem, although as you note the sun must be out for it to work. Doesn't matter how cold it is if the sun is out. It is the only way to cook beans and granola. Baking (cookies, cakes, etc) works fine too, the baking is a more "gentle" kind of baking so it's hard to burn things even if the temp is kicked up. Ours gets to 450 F. with full sun. I could send a picture if you like. A friend of mine has the SunOven and enjoys using it, but it definitely doesn't get as hot (smaller panels). She enlarged its heat potential by filling in the corner negative spaces with mylar (or aluminum foil)coated inserts.
