Stove Camp 2015

> Get ready for a week of summer fun! Stove Camp will be held July 27-31 at
> Aprovecho's Blue Mountain Campus. Participants will learn about the design,
> testing, funding, and marketing of biomass cook stoves. Bring your ideas
> and your prototypes. Two emissions hoods will be available all day to give
> a rough view of your stove's emissions performance (1). Materials and
> expertise will be available for you to construct new stoves and modify
> existing models. There will be ample time for discussions among colleagues
> between lecture sessions, during moderated discussions, during work
> sessions, and during meals.

> The coveted Kirk Smith 'Cat Pee' Award along with the $250 prize will be
> awarded to the team that produces the cleanest burning stove. The WHO
> guidelines for PM are very difficult to meet - 1.75 mg/min for an unvented
> stove and 7.15 mg/min for a vented stove. Can you pass the test? If during
> Stove Camp a stove is found that appears to meet the WHO standards the
> owner will be invited back to Aprovecho free of charge so that the stove
> can receive extensive testing. Aprovecho will produce an official report
> for the owner to use at his or her discresion.

> Space for tent camping will be available. There is an outdoor solar shower
> (and a regular one inside). Meals will be prepared by our staff cook. There
> are also several hotels in Cottage Grove
