Light my (eco-friendly) fire!

Not many people know this, but oil already used for cooking can be reused again. The Biofuel Cooking stove makes use (or rather reuse) of used cooking oil as fuel to ignite the stove. Deviating from the common practice of using firewood, or fossil fuels like petroleum, the Biofuel stove not only recycles, it also makes for a safer cooking experience. The oil being reused comes mainly from plants or animal fat, which is significantly less inflammable, posing less of a fire hazard. These oils also don’t emit noxious fumes or smoke, making them a healthier option, not just for you but for the planet too!
