Gyapa (Good Fire) Charcoal Stove

Myweku reports on the 'Good Fire' stove:

...the workshop we visited was manned by a Coordinator who kindly took some time off to talk to us about the stovjob was to train apprentices across Accra and elsewhere on manufacturing the Gyapa (Good Fire) Charcoal Stove and to distribute work amongst the workers across the Kokompe Market...The Gyapa Stove (the stoves branded name) has several environmental sustainability benefits. A ceramic liner is fitted to it which helps to improve fuel efficiency by up to 50% over a traditional coal pot as 40% to 50% less coal is used. The stove retains heat better, is easy to use, lasts relatively longer (3 years) and apparently pays for itself in charcoal savings in as little as 2 months!
