Aprovecho Research Center

Once again, the annual ETHOS Stove Camp will be held July 16-20 at the Aprovecho Research Center lab in Creswell, Oregon (10 miles south of Eugene.) Click here for a map

The Aprovecho Stove Camp is a chance for people interested and involved in the research, design, construction, and dissemination of biomass cooking stoves to come together for a hands on collaborative event. Participants will discuss, design, build, and test cook stoves in Aprovecho's laboratory. Sessions for newcomers and stove veterans will run concurrently.

There will be a two day "Introduction to Almost Everything about Stoves"
(Monday-Tuesday) for those who could use a comprehensive but quick summary.
It will be taught by Aprovecho staff and others. A parallel session will run
at the same time.

The theme of second session is:
A competition to combine heat transfer and combustion efficiency resulting
in the most fuel efficient, least polluting, most cost effective, best liked
natural draft cooking system (Stove/Pot). (No hayboxes) PRIZE OF $250. And a
beautiful award. Stoves should be designed and built on site.

Stoves will be tested under the emission hood. And by local cooks.
Winner determined by votes from participants.

Photos and descriptions of the cooking systems and results will be published
on the biomass website www.bioenergylists,org

Cost is $100 for students. $200-$500 for others (Sliding Scale)
Contact us to sign up!

Camping and inexpensive hotels are available (see below). We'll also go sailing
sometimes in the late afternoons.
