  Winter Stove Workshop

January 22-26, 2011

 

 

Aprovecho Research Center is pleased to announce our 2011 Winter Stove
Workshop.  The five-day workshop is designed to provide agency personnel,
policy experts, funders, future field technicians, and others interested in
clean cookstoves an intensive course in the principles of stove design,
testing, and use.  

 

The workshop, more affectionately known as "Stove Camp," takes place at the
Aprovecho Research Center in Cottage Grove, Oregon (two hours south of
Portland).  Participants are encouraged to continue your learning by
attending the international Engineers in Technical and Humanitarian
Opportunities of Service (ETHOS) conference, held in Seattle that Friday,
Saturday, Sunday.

 

In five days participants will learn:

.        design principles for a variety of rocket, fan, charcoal and TLUD
stoves 

.        how to improve combustion efficiency

.        heat transfer basics for getting more energy from the fire to the
pot

.        testing protocols for evaluating, comparing and improving stove
designs using both laboratory and infield equipment

.        How to construct inexpensive '90% emission reduction' cook stoves  

 

Aprovecho Research Center has been applying proven science and
state-of-the-art technology to stove research and development for 25 years.
It is part of Aprovecho's goal to help contribute to the proliferation of
great cook stoves worldwide by sharing our extensive expertise with people
such as yourself.  To that end, we have hosted "Stove Camp" each summer for
the past 10 years, and this is our first winter workshop.  

 

"Stove Camp" (as featured in The New Yorker magazine) is a hands-on
laboratory, and our teaching methodology is experiential. As a participant,
you will work with Aprovecho experts and other participants to build four
types of stoves, and then test your work.  You don't need shop skills to
complete this workshop.  Space is limited to 30 participants, so we
encourage you to reserve a spot soon. Cost: $800 includes most meals.
