The Eco Fire Pot Stove is an innovation that uses biodiesel, which allows women in developing countries to cook using a comparatively much cleaner cooking gas fuel than the toxic fuel-producing substances like wood, kerosene and coal. The stove is cheaper in price for this is now made of sheet metal but is also possible to make the stove from scrap metal, clay and bricks, which means the cost spent will be more only for the burner.

Discussing more on the mechanism of how this stove works will help you to understand that this stove is also much more eco friendly and is less harmful reducing the “death sentence” that every women is forced to by spending hours for cooking in front of the traditional cook stoves. The stove is a box with grated burner holes on the top, with each hole having a metal receptacle underneath for holding the wick made from natural fiber, which is being left to be soaked at the end in a pool of clean burning crude biodiesel, “made from waste vegetable oil blended with methanol or ethanol and wood ash.” This stove provides six hours of burning time, allowing you to prepare three meals in a day.

The inventor of this innovative and the so-called safer to health and eco friendly cooking stove, Adama Kamara, is a natural therapist, who has lived in Australia ever since 1966. In her personal interview with Gizmag, she claimed, “The UN estimates that around 1.4 million women and children die each year because of inhaling fumes from wood or solid biomass burning in traditional cook stoves,” and she believes this instigated her towards the invention of the Eco Fire Pot Stove, which works using a cheaper natural fuel, the biodiesel. She believes in bringing the technology down to the villages of the developing countries rather than importing the produce.
