[Stoves] black sheet corrosion retort kiln bottom plate

[Cookswell Jikos]

Hi Dr.

Perhaps ask them to try scput around at the shipyards in Mombasa, they
might have those marine grade steel sheets there.

Otherwise try Mr. Karuki in shauri moyo Nairobi to see if he can source
some 0724855419 on the jua kali market.

Your best bet would really be Kens Metals though for quality.

It's quite salty air down there why don't they use firebricks?

Best,

Teddy
