[Stoves] Help to Purchase an Anagi Stove

[Patricia Mcardle]

Hi Malcom,
Most local market places sell a variety of biomass cookstoves. You can actually build a very effective rocket stove using just 16 adobe bricks. Check out my you tube video with Larry Winiarski, the inventor of the rocket stove. 
https://youtu.be/XSMR2ANIZ7E  You can also save fuel and reduce smoke by using the integrated cooking method.

 I agree with a point that Aprovecho’s Dean Still made on the stovers’ list serve back in 2001,  “In a perfect world perhaps with a great, non polluting wood stove would come a retained heat cooker (Haybox), a solar oven for baking and a parabolic or conical reflector for boiling water...Whole package might cost $100 which is dinner and a movie for some folks."   

A former Marine friend of mine, who builds and sells the "All Season” solar cooker wrote something similar to me a few years ago. Here’s what he said:  “If you give my neighbor a fuel efficient biomass stove and ten kilos of wood…and you give me the same type of stove, the same amount of wood plus a retained heat basket and a solar cooker… guess who’s going to run out of wood first?  

I am a fan of the integrated cooking concept for emergencies and for the world’s poorest people. Solar cook when it’s sunny. Use a fuel efficient stove when there’s no sun.   And always use a retained heat container with both devices for maximum fuel efficiency. Here’s  my latest you tube video, which promotes the fuel-saving potential of using retained heat containers with biomass stoves and solar cookers.
