The fan is located either on the bottom of the stove or on an
extended welded pipe which is about 18 cm away from the
stove body. In case of a fan located at the bottom of the stove,
glass wool is placed in the lower portion of base as an insulation
to prevent fan from overheating and burning. Because of its
efficient combustion, it consumes less than 1 kg of fuel wood to
prepare a meal for five to six persons. The efficiency of this
type of stove ranges from 25 to 30 per cent. Big sized 'Jumbo
bayupankhi stove' is suitable for larger institutions.
Urban and semi-urban areas.
Highly efficient, portable and fast cooking. Significant smoke
reduction compared to traditional stoves.
Requirement of smaller size fuel materials and electricity to
operate the fan.
Private companies and local workshops.
