Optimizing User Behavior for Efficiency

How the cook interacts with the stove to save fuel and reduce smoke emissions.

Optimizing User Behavior for Efficiency

Technology alone cannot solve efficiency problems without proper user adaptation and training.

Airflow Management

  • Adjust the primary air intake for a smoky, slow burn.
  • Increase the primary air for a high-temperature, clean flame.
  • Use the secondary air vents only when the fire is established.

Pot Placement

  • Place the pot directly in the center of the stove.
  • Ensure the pot sits flat and does not wobble.
  • Use a lid that fits snugly to trap heat and steam.

Small adjustments in how the stove is used yield large improvements in fuel savings.
