Kenya 2009 How to disseminate 400,000 cookstoves?

This seems like an odd place to put this information. it makes it seem that a 3 stone fire is faster and better! I would change this entire page. Instead focus on the negatives of the traditional stove as opposed to the positives of the Jiko Poa.or focus on the positives but used a picture of the jiko Poa not the traditional fire

Focus groups were conducted in Dec 2009 and Feb 2010 6 stoves + open fire

A place for Local and offshore production Not one solution! e.g. Haiti.

Sales
Last 3 months 6500 Jiko Poas sold. Currently monthly production ~2000 stoves

Tooling up for ~5000 per month by year's end

Target: produce 40,000 stoves in 2011. 400,000 1.5 million by 2020 Jiko Poa currently accounts for 80% of Paradigm sales

100L Chimney Institutional Rocket Stove

Goma 2010

New Briquette stove reduces consumption by 30 % as compared to existing congolese model

The RB5 1000 stick

Curing tobacco with less wood

The Rocket Barns unique double chimney system uses waste heat from the furnace to forcibly draw air through the barn. This increased convective flow results in a more efficient cure that also produces higher quality tobacco.

6. Hot flue gases enter the outer, larger diameter chimney, thus heating the air and creating a pressure drop that draws ambient air through the barns air vents (see step 2).

Heres how it works

1. 1000 sticks of tobacco are loaded into the barn and the fire is lit

5. Hot flue gases enter the inner, narrow diameter chimney and then exit inside the outer, larger diameter chimney.

4. Hot flue gases pass through flue pipes. Internal gas temperatures drop from a max of 800C at the furnace outlet to a max of 150C at the fluepipe outlet. Surface temperatures of the flue pipes range from 0-250C. 3. Inside the TWY furnace internal temperatures reach over 1100C.

2. As the outer chimney heats up, ambient air is drawn into the barn through the air vents and over the flue pipes where it is heated.
