Our main problems have been that these stoves were undersized for the large cooking pots, are much too expensive (as Cecil poignantly highlighted) and, in the case of the metal bucket rocket the stove was short-lived.</SPAN>

Over the past year, with funding from the Canadian Government, we have come up with the Noflay stove or “no problem” stove. The stove is essentially made up of two components: a central combustion chamber of fired bricks and a shroud (a mortared brick wall custom-built to the pot size). In brief, the stove has many of the design features of other large improved clay brick and metal stoves (i.e. low excess air, preheated primary air, secondary air, good heat transfer) but is much less expensive. The total installed cost of the stove is about $10USD and it can hold a 34 cm pot typically used for a household of 12 or more. <SPAN> </SPAN>Compared to other advanced
clay brick stoves some key reasons for the low cost of the Noflay is its resource efficiency because of the round shape (i.e. use of custom made bricks in both the firebox and shroud), the limited use of kiln fired bricks and its focus on locally made bricks which reduces transport costs and brick breakage.</SPAN>
