Abstract: In Bangladesh it is very difficult to use solar cookers during the months when the days are generally cloudy and at times solar cooking becomes impossible. To overcome such problems for a box-type solar cooker, we have used an auxiliary source of energy inside it. This is done with the help of a built-in heating coil inside the cooker or a retrofit electric bulb in a black painted cylinder. It is found that the use of auxiliary sources allows cooking on most cloudy days.
