Here is the finished product. It has a glass top. The lid, sides, bottom, & inside box are made of 3/4 plywood. The insulation between the outside box & inside box is foam. You can use almost any material for the construction, this is what I had on hand. Some have made the cooker out of cardboard, with paper for insulation. Tom & Nancy Vineski SKP # 31480 used a cardboard cooker they made at a picnic table on a trip into Mexico and Central American it fell apart after two years. You can read about them in Escapee Magazine, July/August 2009. I made mine for less than $30.00. The first thing I cooked was a turkey roast; I put it on at 9:40 AM it was 47 outside, it was done by 4:30 PM. I did turn the cooker so as to follow the sun.
