Get down, dirty, into the action! This week we did a 3 day training seminar on the construction of fogones or wood burning stoves. These specially designed stoves use half the amount of fire wood than a traditional Honduran wood burning stove. This means less emissions, less lung cancer for the cooks, less forest being chopped down, less time to heat up, and it even cooks meals for you! Ok maybe not quite at the level of automated cooking but it is actually more energy efficient than an electric. On the third day we constructed one of these fogones for a family living in a rural community. Amazing these are mostly just constructed with some bricks and mud/grass or cement/sand mixture.
