This stove is named as "Good Stove" a comment made by the first user. These stoves are constructed using easily available local raw material - bricks, clay, ash and cow-dung. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This is a multipurpose stove</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">1. Cooking is done with sticks.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">2. There are twin fire places for cooking simultaneously (which people prefer). </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">3. Fire is intense and smoke is less.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">There are two different size stoves constructed : </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">1. 5 inches x 5 inches openings model - for a family of 5 to 7 members - about 25 bricks are needed (total cost about Rupees 50 and one hour time for construction).</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">2. 6 inches x 6 inches openings model - for a family of about 10 members - about 30 bricks are needed. (total cost about Rupees 60 and one hour time for construction).<br /><br />People are happy with these models as they are more efficient, less smokey, consume less wood and easy to construct and repair with local material.<br /><br />275 Households (covering more than 70% of households) in Srirangapur Village, Kondurg Mandal and Kothur Village, Midjil Mandal in Mahabubnagar District, Andhra Pradesh State have adopted these stoves till date under the Project </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">"Vulnerability Assessment and Enhancing Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change in semi-arid areas in India", supported by </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implmented by AFPRO www.afpro.org<br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Two jumbo Good Stove's was constructed for cooking mid-day meals at the Two Government Schools in Srirangapur and Kothur villages, where everyday 50 children are served meals.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Principle:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The extra chimney effect is cause by the second pot, the total length travelled by the left over combustable gases is greater due to second pot, there is greater chance that all the gases are combusted in the two pot stove.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Pre-heating of air happens at the primary air hole area as the stoves starts burning, the embers from the carcoal pieces lie at the bottom. The primary air entering underneath the wood gets heated due to the presence of these embers upto the entrance. The preheated air is good for better combustion.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Regular pasting the stove, especially in the combustion area with the clay mixed with ash, cowdung and sand is very much useful for higher efficiency performance of the stove. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The smooth pasting improves the aerodynamic property of the combustion area and improves the flow of the flames reaching the pots with very losses of energy.<br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div>Dr. N.
