The Jikokoa (G4)
The Jikokoa is a charcoal stove designed for East Africa that reduces fuel consumption by more than 50% and reduces harmful emissions by more than 60% compared to traditional cooking methods. BDL’s sister organization, Burn Manufacturing Co., a social venture company, is manufacturing over 20,000 Jikokoa’s monthly at their factory near Nairobi, Kenya. Over 450,000 Jikokoa stoves have been produced and sold to date, saving families up to $200 per year in fuel costs.
Burn Design Lab worked in partnership with Burn Manufacturing Co. on this fourth generation of the stove.
