[Stoves] Briquette ignition in a Vesto Junior

[George Riegg Gambia]

Hi Rok,

That was one of our main concerns but most people cook with top-feed charcoal jikos at some stage in their lives so they are actually used to lifting off during the cooking process. As Crispin mentioned before the Vesto Junior is a multi-fuel stove and over the last 2 months the families we are monitoring almost on a daily basis in their homes have soon figured out how the stove/fire/intensity/length-of-burn can be "controlled" for different situations simply by varying fuel size (be it charcoal chunks or short wood sticks or, for the briquettes, how many to stack).

Cheers
George

  Thanks Crispin, for comments and photos!


  Interesting thought on lifting the pot and how the user might not find that being a problem. Some cooks really have hands of stone and are not sensible to heat as much as you'd think.. They have to hold the pot anyways if mixing vigorously like for nsima, so lifting really should not e a big deal
