- Description
- This bucket stove consists of an inner container made of a ceramic material and an outer metal shell in the shape of a bucket. It has a thin metal swinging handle made of wire whose ends are looped through flanges attached to the metal sides. At the bottom of one side of the bucket is a rectangular opening in the outer wall. This leads to a small vacant space at the bottom of the bucket, covered over by a thick ceramic layer penetrated with inch-wide holes. The rectangular opening is accessed via a sliding metal panel attached to the side of the bucket by two narrow metal strips.
