does anyone remember the haybox?

Can't honestly say I remember them as I've never seen a real, 'live' one but I bet there's loads of stuff on t'interweb on various green or self-sufficiency sites. I'd have a google if I were you and see what you can come up with.

Then maybe you could start a 'what's in my haybox today' thread

and convert us all .....

I think you'll probably be able to find all kinds of stuff on solar cookers as well.

..and if you convert us all...then I'll pick up what useful ideas I can and might actually get round to using my haybox.....:D:rotfl:

I'm sure it IS actually a good idea - I just havent got round to trying it out yet...:D
