- Cardboard comes in different varieties: flat, thin sheets that may have a glossy coat and inked colors, like cereal or other food boxes (also known as paperboard), corrugated -- 2 outside sheets with a wavy or rippled sheet in between (flutes) -- stronger and thicker than 3 flat sheets would be.
- Boxes from electronic equipment such as computer cases, printers, laptop computers, etc, are often of superior quality and in good proportions for solar box ovens. Stores that sell window glass and doors are good sources of long pieces that are useful for cutting 'planks' for liners or for other applications where long or large pieces are needed.

Cardboard cookers can be made more waterproof by painting them with several coats of exterior latex or other paint. This doesn't mean you can store your cooker outdoors full time, but it will make it more resistant to dew or unexpected light rain that might blow in while your cooker is out. For greater strength and water resistance, the fabric/glue/beeswax treatment described on the Tips and Tricks page is very good. You still can't store your cardboard cooker outdoors all the time, but it will take more in the way of dew or an unexpected shower that blows up while you're away from home, and it makes the box very tight and strong.
