Malena Cookstoves
Malena Cookstoves are improved cookstoves made out of unfired mud/clay bricks mixed with straw and dung. They have two cooking holes and a chimney. As compared to a traditional cookstove, these improved cookstoves decrease the amount of fuel (mostly firewood and dung) needed and also reduce indoor air pollution as most of the pollutants escape via the chimney.[1][2]
