[Stoves] Roketworx stove appears in Kanya

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

The strong little stove that you may have seen in Phnom Penh has popped up
in Bulungula, an orphanage in Kenya in the name 'ISTOVU' which is a Zulu
word for 'stove'.

I don't know if the name is still Roketworx but it was at one time.

 

Note please the heat shield/finned skirt that sits just below one of the
pots. For those who did not see it, this stove has a grate, preheated
secondary air injection at two levels and a swirl-inducer. It is all metal.
I can be inverted and used as a seat. I believe there are two sizes, this
being the smaller one.

 

Also note in the right hand picture the fuel magazine is about completely
full. This is not an issue because the air supply is not necessarily through
the fuel opening. The grate is not like the flat platform used in Rocket
Stoves and it produces very little char (because char is well supported).  

 

The pot looks like a 254mm Hart.

 

Regards

Crispin
