About: The Tawi stove is designed to ‘catch’ carbon dioxide while you cook. It does this by turning the wood you burn into activated charcoal (biochar). This activated charcoal has a multitude of uses, from enhancing your compost to eliminating unpleasant odours. Find out more at: www.carbonfarmers.world. Assembly instructions; To attach the flue to the firebox, slot base of the flue into the opening in the hotplate. Push the flue towards the front of the hotplate and slot it into place.
Safety instructions – please read before use The Tawi stove operates in a unique way; therefore it is very important that you read these safety instructions carefully.

Locating your Tawi stove If possible, choose a location sheltered from wind gusts. Face the entrance of the stove into any wind there is; this will make lighting easier.
Tawi stove operating instructions Your Tawi stove is designed to burn small sticks. These should be collected from the ground. It does not matter how small or short the sticks you burn are, but you do not want to use anything bigger than 2.5cm in diameter. You also need to try and avoid wood that has been spilt to make it smaller; that tends to burn too quickly. The photograph opposite shows the sort of sticks that you should try and use.
It is very important that you move the whole stack in one go. If you push some sticks in more than others, your stove will start to smoke. You need to keep the firebox full of sticks, unless there is too much flame. As the stack burns back, keep moving it forward as described above. If you need to add more wood to the top of your stack, make sure you don’t push the new wood over the top of the burn-line. If you do, the fire will start to smoke. To maintain a continuous burn, extend the stack with new wood.
