The Prakti Leo Wood Stoves are portable, efficient cookstoves designed to be compatible with common rural cooking habits across the world. The stoves come in three models: single burner, double burner, and a double burner with chimney extension. The rocket stove design reduces fuel wood consumption by 40-50%, emissions by up to 60% (and indoor emissions by 100% if the chimney extension is used), and cooking time by 30% if using two burners. The double burner model can be modified to be used efficiently as a single burner. Without the chimney extensions, the stoves are portable for easy use both indoors and outdoors. Available chimney model attachments include a meat smoker/dryer.
The Leo Wood Stoves were developed by Prakti Design Lab in South India and are primarily used in India and Nepal.
