Box without reflectors

Box-type cookers are very old and the most popular. The very first design of box-type cooker was that of Nicholas-de-Saussure
(1740-1799). It was simply an insulated box with glazing; this forms the basis of all the present designs of box-type cookers
including Warenham’s (1995) ‘Sunstove’ (Type BWM 1d). The cookers presented here are classified on the basis of reflectors, i.e.,
those without mirrors and those with mirrors. The cookers of the second category are further divided into five groups based on the
number of reflectors as summarised in chart Ib.
