Other Stove Builders:

We have on hand a list of fellow pyros who have built these stoves and take great pleasure in thinking and talking about fire. They can perhaps answer some of your questions or come to your site to give advice. Some will charge a fee, some will not. Perhaps you would like a workshop at your site, or for your group or school, etc. Contact us for referrals.

Kiko talks about fire as well as earthen materials in his oven books, so even if you aren't building an oven, there is useful instruction here. Art and craft.

Wood-burning sites, education, information, discussion:

The Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainable Technology (REPP). Discussions about the uses of rocket stoves for cooking, mostly. Perfecting the efficiency and emissions zero-ness, testing, building, materials, more.
