General information
Kitchen stove running on wood or charcoal, for indoor and outdoor cooking.
Considering the distance for transportation, it is recommended to promote the use of fire wood instead of charcoal when transported on short distance and in rural context. On long distance or for urban contexts the use of charcoal presents more advantages than fire wood (ref: FAO). Other environmental, health, or user-focussed reasons can be taken into consideration.
The specifications below consider specific factors as recommended by the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, based on ICRC/IFRC’s goals and priorities.
http://cleancookstoves.org/The stove performance and quality is measured in regard to its fuel efficiency, emissions, and safety. The tests are performed according to the ISO International Workshop Agreement, available at ISO web store under the ref: IWA11:2012.
Some specifications may vary with national standards and local market conditions. For locally sourced items, check them against the specifications below. Any important variation from the EIC standard needs a specialist approval.
