 Little BIG Africa
 
      Smokeless fuel efficient stoves burn firewood in a specially made chamber positioned below the cooking pots. This chamber allows firewood to burn effectively, producing little smoke and an intense heat. The chamber channels the heat to the cooking pots, meaning food cooks faster (thus requiring less time and firewood).  
      Smokeless fuel efficient stoves use only one third the amount of firewood that three stone fires use, reducing pressure on Uganda’s forests and time spent collecting firewood. Smoke is minimal and a chimney channels any smoke outside the kitchen, adding years to women’s and children lives.

Smokeless fuel efficient stoves are cheap and easy to make: they are made from locally available materials such as anthill soil and community members can be trained in one day to construct them. LBA works with Energy-efficiency specialists to ensure the most up to date technology, which is continuously improving, is made available to community members.
