Greeting Elisabith,

Thank you for your inquiry about which solar cookers are best for when.

It is true that there are some solar cookers that are better than others for wintertime cooking, but there really is no one particular solar cooker that is exclusively for winter time or summer time cooking.
In general most all solar cookers work better in the summer time due to the position of the sun in the sky, the sun is much higher, or more directly positioned above in the summer time thus creating conditions of longer times of more intense rays from the sun. In the winter time it is the opposite, meaning shorter cooking periods and not so intense UV rays from the sun, making it a bit more challenging to cook in the winter.
But, it is still possible to solar cook very well in the winter time as long as you have your sunny days and you start as early as the day will allow.

I hope this is helpful.
