“A short video available for viewing or downloading describing the steps for building a small single pot VITA stove. The VITA stove is inexpensive to construct and seems suitable for outdoor cooking in refugee situations.” LINK to source: www.aprovecho.org LINK to aprovecho: www.aprovecho.org This video was linked on Boing Boing, I thought it was a great video that showcased some exceptional DIY technology and could use a little more exposure (since it was not already on YouTube). To concerned parties: If this causes any kind of problem with copyright, just let me know and I’ll remove it immediately.
