Performance benchmarks for biomass cooking stoves were presented at the 2006 ETHOS (Engineers in Technical and Humanitarian Opportunities of Service) conference by Dean Still, Nordica Hudelson and Damon Ogle of Aprovecho Research Center. The benchmarks will be useful to stove designers and developers to compare their stoves against many others. The benchmarks were derived from tests of 20 stoves (9 replications each) in work funded by Shell Foundation and the Partnership for Clean Indoor Air (USEPA).

The 2007 Aprovecho Stove Camp is almost 1 month away! We have reserved a group campsite at Dorena Lake (where Dean keeps his sailboat) just outside of Cottage Grove. If you plan on attending Stove Camp, and would like to stay at the campsite (cheaper than a hotel, and much more scenic), please contact Jeremy at Aprovecho to reserve a spot. Total cost per person is $40 for 5 nights. We have the site reserved from 7-15 through 7-19. There are also hotels in Cottage Grove and Creswell for approx. $60 - $100 /night.

Cost for the Stove Camp is $100 for students. $200-$500 for others (Sliding Scale)
Please contact us to sign up!

Once again, the annual Aprovecho Stove Camp will be held July 16-20 at the Aprovecho Research Center lab in Creswell, Oregon. Click here for a map

More information on the Aprovecho Stove Camp can be found on their website.

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.

Nordica MacCarty will do a training on how to use the Portable Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS) at Stove Camp July 16-20. We can evaluate emissions using the PEMS.

Paul Anderson will teach a session on TLUD (Top Lit Updraft) stoves.

We are awarding a $250 prize to the best natural draft stove...and doing a very thorough two day review called" Almost Everything About Stoves" that will run concurrently as folks build and test best stoves. (Two tracks happening at the same time). Tami Bond will probably be there and Dale Andreatta along with many other notables. Aprovecho has THREE COOL NEW STOVES to share.

COME ONE, COME ALL! Directions, etc. to follow!! Sailing on the lake, too!
