The Future of Clean Cooking

Ecoa Wood

“Since I bought an Ecoa Wood for my grandmother, she no longer coughs due to smoke. Initially, she used a three stone fireplace, and everyone would notice the smoke in her house. Now, my grandy’s home is a no-smoke zone!"”

Lucy Muthoni Mbui

Ecoa Wood User, Kiambu, Kenya.

Jikokoa Classic

“Before I started using Jikokoa, my children would cough, get headaches and get dizzy because of the smoke. Since I started using the Jikokoa, we no longer have these health problems. With the Jikokoa I can cook inside our home without worrying about my family getting ill.”

Ruth Ongubo

Jikokoa User, Nairobi, Kenya.

Why Biomass Stoves Matter - Now More Than Ever

Biomass currently provides ~85% of all household cooking energy in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Due to population growth alone, an additional 75,000 people on the continent rely on biomass each day.

Although BURN now offers a line of electric, hybrid and liquid fuel stoves, we believe it is imperative to provide super fuel-efficient solutions to households that only have access to biomass fuels. Watch the video to learn more about our approach.

BURN's Cooking Appliances Change Lives

Independent studies conducted by UC Berkeley, the University of Chicago and Yunus Social Business validate the benefits of BURN’s Jikokoa and Kunikoa cookstoves.
