[Stoves] Maendeleo/Upesi stove: dimensions?

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Friends

 

While Ingelore has circulated a document on the production of the Kenyan
Jiko, I think you should also be aware that this model was replaced years
later by the Improved Kenyan Jiko which is available in another USAID funded
document (written for ATI) in 1991. 

 

Hugh's book is here
<https://books.google.ca/books/about/The_Kenya_Ceramic_Jiko.html?id=WpZKAAAA
YAAJ&redir_esc=y> .

 

It is available for download from here
<http://www.pssurvival.com/PS/Stoves/Cooking/Kenya_Ceramic_Jiko_A_Manual_For
_Stovemakers_1991.pdf> . It is too large to attach.

 

It includes drawings of all the equipment developed to make consistent
products and to fire them properly. He said they got the loss on firing down
to 3%.

 

The main improvement made by Hugh was not the design, it was the production
system and the method of getting a clay mix that would survive being heated
and cooled many times.  It was this work which was used to inform the
approach taken to the development of the Maputo Ceramic Stove. The MCS was
able to eliminate the metal body which in some countries is a major problem
to make either because of a lack of skill (Maputo) or lack of materials
(Chad etc).

 

Regards
Crispin
