This is an explanatory video showing how to make a Smokeless Chulha (cookstove) using clay, sand, grass and puffed rice. Feel free to share this video widely.

This design not only eliminates most of the smoke, it also requires much less fuel (about 35% – 50%) of a typical open fire or simple cookstove.

We now have for purchase in India a Smokeless Cookstove Kit that helps with making the donuts. Check that here:

Household Air Pollution kills more than 4 million people per year globally, with 1 million of those in India alone. This stove is designed to replace an open fire or rudimentary chulha that does not already vent to the outside.

This stove is a byproduct of design and development work done by the Himalayan Rocket Stove company, and which is now being carried forward by the Smokeless Cookstove Foundation, a not-for-profit Foundation registered in India: https://www.himalayanrocketstove.com
