Banana husk air duct. This piece is placed between the two middle burners.

























Simon, the builder, planning out the stove. In the back the chimney piece is put into place.

















Throwing mud into the stove shape.


















The final product! The burner to the far right will be used for the meal, the one directly next to it near the chimney will be used for water. Finally the last one will be used for veggies!

The two banana husks in the front of the stove will be were the charcoal/wood is fed into.
