[Stoves] Stoves with pot skirts

[CEDESOL Foundation]

Sharon,
One of our earlier singlepot rocket stoves uses a skirt like you mentioned.


It is a metal piece that can be made out of recycled tin about 25 to 30 cm
high and about 50 cm long.  Using a big nail make a series of holes longwise
in about the middle. Space the holes 2 or 3 cm apart.

On the other end of the metal piece, make a coresponding hole and attach a
stiff wire bent at one end to hold it in the hole and bent at the other end
in the form of a small hook.  Form the metal around a pot to give it shape.


Then just adjust the hook into the appropriate hole according to the pot
size.

We teach users to be sure they can get a finger in both sides of the skit to
keep the distance between pot and skit aprox 1 to 2 cm.

Simple, inexpensive and fucntional

hope this is useful to your quest.
