Up a little after 4:30am this morning to visit the tiny village of Quicha (key-cha) about 90 minutes bumpy driving away from Huancayo where the quality of their local clay is sufficient to make the combustion chamber that will be the heart of my stove project. I’ve got to go back next week in order to see a prototype, but thankfully an hour later!!
Wowsers – building your own stove – it’s like Time Team!
Except I’m hoping it’s not going to look too archaeological by the time I’ve built it!!!
