Fuel Efficient Stove Solution

The Fuel Efficient Stove is built out of mud, straw and recycled materials. This project creates jobs, save lives, makes a healthier environment indoors and outdoors, reduces the cost of energy, recycles waste, and empowers the community. The FES works off the Rocket Stove principle. Wood itself does not burn. Wood gets hot and then releases constituent gases that hopefully all burst into flame. The remaining solid residue, char, is then combusted to form carbon dioxide released in the smoke. A hot fire is a clean fire, reducing poisonous smoke, the killer in the kitchen. A lazy fire pollutes the air which humans need to breathe. (Bryden, 2008)
