The 60 Liter Stove is a serious cooking machine designed around an extra large (approximately 15 gallon) cook pot. Its high capacity makes it perfect for refugee or internally displaced people (IDP) camps. The stove is also useful for commercial scale cooking, whether a restaurant, a school, a crab cookout, or a huge tailgate party. This stove will boil ten gallons of water in less than 30 minutes, and continue to boil with just a few small sticks of wood. It is unparalleled in quick cooking times, reduced fuel use, and minimal smoke and greenhouse gas emissions. We manufacture to very precise specifications at our facility in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

ChimneyA five foot long 30 gauge galvanized steel chimney with a rain cap comes with each stove. The design maximizes draft to insure clean burning and to draw smoke and soot away from the cook. You don’t need another section for good draft but it can be added if desired. Rain CapThe all-weather rain cap allows outdoor use in almost any weather conditions. Pot and LidEach stove comes with a heavy-duty 1/4” thick 15 gallon aluminum pot, big enough for a big crab feast or cooking for crowds. It has nice, big handles and a close-fitting lid. The pot precisely fits down into the stove for maximum heat transfer efficiency and to insure that smoke doesn’t escape. Specialized Internal DesignThe pot is surrounded by a precisely designed heavy steel cylinder that forces the hot gasses to scrape against the bottom and sides of the pot, resulting in unbeatable heat transfer. The pot boils a lot faster while burning much less wood. Long Lasting Stainless Steel Combustion ChamberThe heart of this stove is an advanced design combustion chamber, developed by the Aprovecho Research Center in Oregon. A special high-temperature 24 gauge stainless steel chamber is surrounded with lightweight insulation. The firebox generates clean-burning temperatures above 1100 degrees Celsius that burns up smoke and gases. Folks often ask why there isn’t any smoke. Why? It’s burned up in the fire! Stick Support
The heavy 1/8” steel stick support holds up the fuel, while air flows under the sticks into the combustion chamber helping the burn to be very clean. SafetyThe outside of the stove remains cool enough to touch, and the recessed firebox and recessed pot minimize the potential for burns. The 75 pound stove is pretty lightweight and can be moved by one or two people. At the same time the big stove is very stable and almost impossible to tip over. Other Features
