Haines 2 without Cooking Pot

This is the popular Haines 2 Solar Cooker without a cooking pot.  It includes the polycarbonate circular cover and cooking sleeve with silicone spacers to protect the cooking sleeve.  You will need to supply your own black or dark colored pot with lid.  The pot must have a top flange, no wider than the diameter of the pot, that can rest on top of the cooking sleeve.  It must not have side handles that would interfere with the cooking sleeve.  The lid must be tight-fitting and preferable made of glass so that the cooking process can be observed without removing the lid.

The Haines 2 works best with a pot that is around 11" in diameter and 4.5 liters in volume.  But your dimensions can vary.  A dark/black pot is best to absorb the heat.

It works.

Exploring more grid down cooking solutions.
All I can say is this thing works. Only used once so far.
I cooked a meat loaf, and it came out great.
Next try will be cooking a pot of pinto beans.
I have no doubt it will work just fine.
It assembles easily. Contains everything needed to start cooking
including a pot and glass lid. Disassembled, it is compact and light
weight and requires minimal storage space. It gives peace of mind
knowing I can cook food and the only thing required is sunshine.

First time using

I’m very impressed. On a 76 F day, I was able to boil potatoes and eggs (potato salad). It took about 4 hours and turned out perfect. The customer response was very fast and efficient.. i feel very confident that I can cook most anything. I highly recommend this.

We love it, but…

We love cooking with this unit and it is indeed well-constructed, but… The pot lid comes with the **** unassembled. The escutcheon that goes on the underside of the lid comes in a plastic bag. It has razor thin edges and my wife badly cur her finger while removing the piece. She was bleeding for days afterward it cut so deep. These parts need to be filed or machined to a smooth dull edge. Really.
