The hot gases escape the fire through the 4 slots. This makes for an efficient cooker. This unit is quite heavy. Note several carefully shaped features inside and out. The platform at the front is not horizontal, it slopes down to the right. The <i>sate</i> sticks (with small bits of meat) are placed across the two short walls and the burning charcoal pulled back. At that time the sticks would be removed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>It is called a <i>Tihengo</i> Stove, from Gorontalo Province in Northern Sulawesi. There is no shortage of wood almost everywhere in Indonesia. If people want charcoal they can just take wood and make some. Many foods are roasted so I don’t see people bringing extra wood, making extra char and saving it. The common cooking woods like left-overs from feeding penned goats makes a pretty awful charcoal anyway. It was a surprise to me and Cecil that goats are always penned and food brought to them in the form of branches. They eat the bark off and the remaining wood is used for cooking. That is quite common.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Regards<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Crispin<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>PS Thanks to Prianti Utami for the photos<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
