A\u00a0<\/strong> stove building session, supervised by Bob Hodgson, of Pyrois Technologies, was run last September 27th to construct a batch of clean-burning, highly fuel efficient cookstoves to be supplied to help some of the homeless\u00a0refugees currently stranded in Europe, who have been left in desperate need of most of life’s necessities, whose plight has been largely overlooked by authorities and mainstream NGO’s.<\/p>\n

The session was run as part of a\u00a0 wider humanitarian relief effort, organized by\u00a0 Jay Gearing and Sophie Antonelli, members of The Green Backyard<\/a>, a volunteer-run charity and community growing project based in Peterborough, England.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As well as the stoves ,\u00a0 tents, clothing, food\u00a0and other items urgently needed by the\u00a0homeless and destitute\u00a0refugees were\u00a0 generously donated by the public in response to their appeal and\u00a0 crowd-funding campaign.<\/p>\n

Bob created the stove design allowing the batch of stoves to be quickly built by the team of volunteers from pre-made kits of parts sourced locally, including CNC Laser cut parts. \u00a0 Bob, said “Normally\u00a0 it can take weeks to get these items fabricated, but we managed to get it done in just a few days with the help of local suppliers . It was a close run thing as some vital parts only arrived with literally a couple of hours before the team had to get on their way!”<\/p>\n

The stoves, known as rocket stoves, are of a type originally invented by Dr Larry Winiarski (technical director of the Aprovecho Research Centre, based in the USA ), and\u00a0 the advanced design\u00a0\u00a0means the stoves burn fuel very cleanly and do not produce the pollution associated with ordinary fires. A particular benefit is that the stoves\u00a0are highly fuel efficient, requiring only a small amount of wood to operate when cooking, allowing the maximum use to be made from scant local resources.<\/p>\n

Each stove was supplied complete with a set of cooking utensils ,\u00a0 pots, instructions and\u00a0 food , together with a matching \u00a0“haybox” (a\u00a0traditional method for economical cooking.) and is capable of cooking hot meals for around 15-25 people\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Pyrois Technologies is a member of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves<\/a>, an international organization promoting the development and use of clean cooking technologies in developing countries<\/p>\n
