Mayon Turbo

Stove Performance Report: Mayon Rice Hull Stove
Aprovecho research Center, July 18, 2005

INTRODUCTION:

This report serves to provide detailed performance measures of the smaller red model of the Mayon Turbo Rice Hull cooking stove including speed, fuel use, efficiency, and emissions produced. Stove performance is also considered in comparison to a laboratory open fire and the average of four similar wood burning stoves recently tested at the Aprovecho laboratory. Comments are included describing ease of use and recommendations for possible design improvement.

The Mayon Turbo stove reduces both Carbon Monoxide and Particulate Matter when compared to a carefully operated open fire. It is especially successful at reducing Particulate Matter.
