Gyapa Enterprises works with over 450 metal artisans to manufacture the external metal casing of the cookstove. The
external metal stove body is cut and
hammered together by hand using scrap metal.
Typical scrap metal is sourced from discarded roofing sheets, car doors,
refrigerators, air conditioner units and waste pieces from local aluminum
companies. Metal artisan
manufacturers secure the ceramic liner into the finished stove body and paint
the finished stove. The manufacturers
sell their finished product to distributors, local retailers or directly to
customers.
