User-friendly & safe: The KIKE Green Cook not only burns cleanly but is extremely safe to use. The Gel house is non-pressurized and holds Biogel in a special controlled jelly canister so you don't need to be bothered about spill or being turned over . The burner flame is adjusted and extinguished by a simple regulator (shown). This stove was developed to address the many safety concerns presented by other stoves and have been rated #1.
Durable : All KIKE Green Cook are of durable design. The KD-series is made entirely of long-lasting special baked stainless steel. An expensive improvement on the AS-series is made with cost-saving but durable substitutes - galvanized steel and aluminium. All burner parts are high temperature stainless steel. The flame regulator is the only moving part.
Cooking with Biofuel from sustainably produced energy crops reduces wood use and deforestation. The KIKE Green Cook dramatically reduces greenhouse gas and soot (black carbon) emissions. This means a greatly reduced Global Warming Impact.
