Photo: Stove

This is the stove used to prepare dinner each night at the home where I lived. It's made from two metal pails lined with clay. Meals were generally rice with a stew. Everything was made on this one stove, which was fed with wood charcoal. The plastic bucket on the right has the greens (cassava leaves on this day) that will be cooked.

Wow! I've never seen one of these. How long did it take to cook meat?

They fed the stoves with wood charcoal and stewed everything. It was all pretty efficient.
