The Aprovecho Process

The products we offer, with the exception of the Folding Grill, use a process developed by the American research center APROVECHO, which has developed an original combustion system that significantly reduces the amount of fuel used.
This significantly reduces the environmental impact and costs associated with the use of various fuels.

A « Rocket » stove, fire pit, or BBQ is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly stove used for cooking and heating spaces. It is designed to maximize the efficiency of the combustion process while reducing smoke and emissions. These stoves, fire pits, or BBQs often use a small-diameter combustion chamber and chimney, allowing for high temperatures and complete combustion.

The main features and benefits are:

  1. High efficiency: Low fuel consumption compared to traditional stoves.
  2. Reduced emissions: Efficient combustion reduces the amount of smoke and other harmful gas emissions.
  3. Ease of use: Easy to light and manage.
  4. Availability of materials: Often made from local, inexpensive materials.
  5. Versatility: Suitable for both cooking and heating spaces. This process is particularly popular in areas where fuel is expensive or difficult to obtain and is widely used in development aid projects to improve cooking conditions and reduce health risks.
