Manufacturing/Building Method
The SCODE SP-FL Portable is mass produced with SCODE´s input and is manufactured in regard to specifications provided by the Kenyan Bureau of Standards. SCODE’s warehouse in Nakuru fabricates the metal casing for the stoves whilst the ceramic components are sourced from Muranga. Per month the warehouse has a production capacity of 600 cookstoves.

Lifecycle
Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
Manufacturers specify multiple fuel usage, low consuming fan, savings up to 50% of fuelwood, reduction by 60% of smoke emmissions, easy to light, faster cooking than normal stoves and less ash production as their performance targets.
Vetted Performance Status
Unavailable.
Safety
The safety concerns associated with the usage of wood-burning cookstoves are primarily related with carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide emissions. Another significant safety concern is domestic accidents such as accidental burning or spill-overs.
Complementary Technical Systems
Due to the fact that the SCODE SP-FL requires a low power fan to assist with the combustion, an external power source is required. A solar panel or any other source of electricity can be installed to power the fan.
