[Stoves] Help! Are there insulated biogas stoves?

[Cookswell Jikos]

Hi Karolina,

Not sure about an insulated open cooking pot style biogas stove but I do
know that Dom from Flexi Biogas in Karen has converted a few of our
charcoal bread/roasting ovens to run on biogas - (

with good results. There also is a lady from the Permaculture Institute of
Kenya in Athi River who has a dual fuel (charcoal and biogas) oven of ours.

Perhaps you can try get in touch with them if you havnt already?

Best,

Teddy
