Does anyone have good plans for making a solar cooker?

Check with the Scouters in your ward / stake.  I'm sure some of them either have some access to some of that.  Or, maybe I'm thinking of making ovens using a cardboard box, aluminum foil, and setting it close to some charcoal...

I found mucho information and plans on solar cookers just by googling. I built a cardboard box one this summer, but wasn't real happy with its performance. Mainly that prime cooking time is midday.... so I can't really use it to cook dinner unless I rewarm it. Plus I can't use it on days when I'm not home to rotate the thing every hour or so. And then of course, there was the wind.....

But I plan to try again next summer.

Some of the sites I bookmarked that include premade ovens, as well as plans to make your own...

outdoorcook.com
solarhaven.org

And the grandaddy of them all:

Heat Retention Solar Oven
