Will a 4 qt. cast iron dutch oven work in this?

Yes, as long as it has a top flange or rim that extends wider than the sides of the pan, so that the flange can rest on the top rim of the cooking sleeve which insulates the pot and elevates it off the surface of the reflector. We recommend using a glass lid, like the lid that comes with the Haines Dutch oven, , so you can monitor the cooking process without lifting the lid, which loses heat.

How long does it take for water to boil?

The Haines 2.0 cooker is capable of heating a quart of water to boiling in a 40 minutes. In side-by-side tests, it heats water faster than any other panel or box cooker.

In cold climate, would it help to further insulate pot with clear roasting bag or clamshell of two glass bowls? Or would that block sunlight?

Insulating the pot would reduce the heat transfer into the pot. The flat black color of the pot promotes fast heat transfer into the pot. The answer to your question is, it would not contribute to greater heating of the pot. Insulating the parabolic reflector on the outside would however provide some heating advantage.

how long to cook cobbler?

Most food, cobbler included, will take a little longer to cook in the solar oven than in a gas or electric oven.
