One third of Pakistan’s population currently uses wood as fuel; many of them are nomad communities for whom this offers the cheapest and most readily available resource. However, cooking on wood fires can be dangerous as there is a high risk of injury as well as long-term health effects from wood smoke such as eye and throat infections, headaches and a number of respiratory illnesses. Safe Cooking is a portable stove that consumes less wood, cooks faster and includes a highly effective ventilation system. The product is safe and easy to use and allows wood-fire cooking to remain a central part of domestic life without posing a health risk to users.
