The Mechanisms of the Buko Chips Stove
(Design by Jed Guinto with reference to to the Rocket Stove of Aprovencho Institute)
1. The cool air is pre-heated thus burns easy.
2. The vertical feeder allows the stove to use fuels of different shapes. Damp fuels may also be used.
3. The clay-biomass mix serves as insulators. Materials such as rice hull, coco chips, sawdust, cocopeat, chopped twigs may also be used.
4. Smoke and other pyrolized gases are burned in the burning chamber thus increasing efficiency and reducing emissions.
5. The heat contact to the cooking vessel is improved with the skirt.
