Dear Mr. Okello,

We have been using Vermiculite for that.

Best regards,

Subject: [Stoves] ash layer beneath fire

 

Hi.

 

Could anyone help me out with this - would an ash layer beneath a fire in an
improved cookstove (as in the sketch attached) help insulate the fire and
prevent heat loss into the body of the stove? The layer would be about an
inch thick after compression, and is about half an inch below the base of
the stove.

 

Thanks,

 

Vincent Okello
