How to make Sri Lanka’s anagi II stove
Practical Action
Coming from the kiln, stoves are checked visually for cracks, especially cm the underside of'
the firebox. The stoves are also tapped for the sound they produce. The sound will be a ring
like a quiet bell if there are no cracks, and a "thunk" if there is a crack. This is the same
technique used to inspect pottery, and it will be "used on the stoves by customers in the
shops.

Sri Lanka’s Anagi II (“Excellent”) stove is the result of a long standing collaboration between
a number of organisations wishing to contribute to solutions to the problems of deforestation,
smoky kitchens, and poverty.
Design, testing, promotion, and funding of the Anagi II stove has been done by the
Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, Ceylon Electricity Board, the Ceylon Institute for
Scientific and Industrial Research, Practical Action (formally The Intermediate Technology
Development Group), and the Overseas Development Administration (UK).
