Paddington Makes Cleaner-Burning Stoves

To commemorate Paddington's last scheduled day of making cleaner-burning stoves in Sacred Valley communities, he decided to document a bit of the process.


Paddington in the initial stages of construction of the ProWorld model stove. Note the buckets of mud and water, which are key in the making of the stoves. By constructing the stoves from readily available materials, the cost is lowered and the stoves blend in with the adobe houses.


Paddington next to a nearly finished stove. This stove just needs to have the chimney built higher as well as a smoothing of the cooking surface to be completed.



Paddington heads home on an oddly empty combi from a hard day of work. He can rest assured knowing that he has made one family literally breath easier due to eliminate smoke pollution around the stove.
