[Stoves] advice for chimney wood stove for rural Burkina Faso

[Anand Karve]

Dear Mr. Rondi,
people and project funders ask for stoves with chimney, mainly because that
has always been the means of taking the smake out of the kitchen. But new
designs of stoves are now available, which do not generate any smoke. We
now install very simple stoves which have no chimney at all. The body of
our stove is made of clay but one needs a cast iron grate of 15cm X 15 cm.
The stoves are made by using a mould. You may have to purchase the mould
from us and also a video CD, which shows step by step how to construct the
stove by using the mould.
Yours
A.D.Karve
