What Gets Us Going 

3 Billion people need a clean burning stove. Lets 
work 

together to make a difference! 

We want to deliver clean and efficient cook stoves to people 
that need them. StoveTec doesn’t need patents, or other 
funky protection for our products. The Aprovecho Research 
Center is open source to help the 

3 billion people cooking on 

an open fire, 

and to reduce the number of people that die 

every year from breathing smoke. Mother Nature needs a lot 
of help right now to reduce global warming, ill health and 
deforestation. 

 
 

 

 
 
 

Why We’re Here 

Delivering clean and efficient stove to the world 
cooks won’t happen on it’s own. 

StoveTec is brought to you by Aprovecho Research Center, 
same people who have worked tirelessly for the last 30 
years to design and build the world’s new standard for 
biomass stoves, and who have completed over 100 projects 
in 60 countries. 
StoveTec is a not-just-for-profit entity that acts as the 
technology transfer recipient for the Aprovecho Research 
Center (ARC). We are a for-profit owned by a non-profit, with 
going back to ARC. 

 

 

People Love our Stoves! 

Cooks and testers alike can’t get over how cool this 
little stove really is. 

From the cooks in Uganda, to Price Charles in the UK, 
people love our stoves! The 

Uganda Controlled Cooking 

Test 

conducted by Erika Tyler of Columbia University 

showed a 95% preference for our rocket stove. Princes 
Charles, who has been studying stoves for 30 years, 
presented Dean Still and Mr. Shen with the 

Ashden Energy 

Champion Award 

for designing and manufacturing this clean 

and efficient stove. The list goes on to include the UK’s 
Guardian Newspaper that listed the stove as 

one of the ten 

best ways to save the world.
