Description:

The spiral pine needle stove is one of the projects developed in this class. Pine needles are a plentiful and dense source of energy, but they are difficult to control when burning and produce health-threatening gases. By elongating the burn path of the fuel around the spiral, the stove uses the energy in the gases to get a clean, efficient burn. Courtesy of the students on the Spiral Pine Needle Stove team.
