Stove for Bosnia's winter relief operations

The main function of this stove is heating of premises. Cooking is done either in a specially designed pot (max. recuperation of heat) or in any other flat bottomed pot that can be placed on the heating plate.

Under the auspices of the International Comitee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other international organisations, 100,000 of these stoves were produced around Zagreb in 1992/93 and distributed in Bosnia Herzegovina, mostly to hospitals, schools and other institutions as well as among refugee and displaced persons. A similar type of action was carried out under ICRC in Chechnia in 1996.
