The least expensive but still practical and efficient cookstove. Works with charcoal, wood extruded wood pellets and briquettes. You can 'top light' with a splash of alcohol. It works well with pellets and is basically smokeless throughout.
Designed to make a significant impact on the consumption of biomass fuels by extending their burning time, by avoiding the cutting of forests and by allowing for the efficient use of multiple fuels including waste, the Vesto is made largely from stainless steel. It is currently being sold in nine countries.
The Vesto has been given the Chairman's Special Award for design by the Design Institute of South Africa (DISA). The stove was also a winner in the Houseware category of the annual event held by the South African Bureau of Standards to promote design excellence.
The Vesto is a variable energy, fuel efficient wood burning stove based on a modified 25 litre paint can. It has preheated secondary air of three types as well as preheated primary air. The primary air and most of the secondary air are separately controlled by two horizontally sliding levers that protrude from one side of the body. It can accommodate fuel from twigs up to 110 mm diameter wood, preferably 200 mm long or less (over-filling a wood stove make a lot of smoke).
The Vesto consists of five main components: - the main stove body with a wire handle - the fire grate with holes punched through it, including a replaceable insert at the bottom - the folded stainless steel strip to support the pots. - the secondary air controller - the primary air controller.
