<p>Hi All,</p>
<p><b class="">"We still don’t have an explanation why."</b></p>
<p><span class="">I'll give it a shot.</span><b class=""> </b><span
class="">Going back to the fire triangle telling us what is
necessary for a fire, we need fuel, oxygen, and heat. I also
like to add mixing and time because fuel and oxygen cannot burn
if they don't come into contact with each other (mixing), and
chemical reactions take some time to occur. Which of these is
being effected by the stones? Certainly there is more oxygen
because air is able to pass between the stones to feed the fire
from below. A fire on a solid surface may loose heat to that
surface, and the stones would reduce that surface, keeping more
heat in the fire. Char may fall between the stones giving more
surface area for burning, increasing mixing. All of these could
increase the heat, keeping a flame burning above the charcoal,
unless the cooking vessel is placed directly on the charcoal,
which would extinguish the flame. If there is a CO flame above
the charcoal then the CO, which is a flammable fuel, will be
burned, eliminating it from the exhaust, and increasing the
available cooking heat. </span></p>

<b class="">[RWL1: I agree with all. I hope the emphasis in
this thread can only be on usage (see thread name - “Improving
cooking with charcoal”). So below, I excise everything
except Kevin’s surprising announcement from four countries
(Zambia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya) ]that adding rocks and
extra grates (no cost and low cost respectively) apparently
gave MUCH (>40%) improved cooking performance. We still
don’t have an explanation why. Kevin is doing more tests.
Can anyone else help with trying to optimize these two new
stove ideas?</b></div>

I think a main one is that, once lit, they don’t need the

and grates, because the production is so bad (Kevin’s#1 point
above), and because the charcoal can be so important when
treated as biochar (dozens of advantages - but mainly energy,
climate and food). But I agree with all of Kevin’s points

seem to have
significantly increased
the efficiency of
charcoal jikos by
putting a bed of rocks
on the jiko's grate and
putting second metal
grate on the rock bed.
The charcoal goes on the
second metal grate.
2-3 cm rocks work. It
works in all metal jikos
and clay jikos that
we've tested. </span><span
