Solar Two - Fire Store Construction

On request from the orphanage, we build a fire stove for them. We got all the children in the orphange to help in carrying the bricks for the stove. We visted one of the villager's house to study how a fire stove is constructed. We came back using a double walled stove to prevent heat lost to the outside wall when fire is lit.

For the top, we constructed a mould and later put cement into it and allow them to dry before removing them. The hole size is determined by using their largest cooking pot.

We prepared the ground where the stove is to be placed and began brick laying.

We have a specialist who is good at mixing cement, sand and water in the quickest possible time.

Finally, we could see the shape of the fire stove. We place the pre-fabricated top onto the base of the fire stove and to complete the job, plaster the bricks to provide a good finishing touch.
