BURN Manufacturing Co.

Nairobi, Kenya

BURN is a company dedicated to addressing deforestation and improving cooking efficiency in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its story began in 1990 when Peter Scott, during his travels in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), witnessed the environmental damage caused by charcoal production for household cooking. Motivated by this, Peter committed himself to finding a solution and began designing fuel-efficient stoves.

In 2010, after working as a cookstove consultant in Central America and Sub-Saharan Africa, Peter founded BURN Design Lab and BURN Manufacturing Co. on Vashon Island, Washington. The company initially operated on a limited budget but quickly gathered a team of world-class designers and engineers focused on creating the most efficient cookstoves globally.

By 2014, BURN opened its first full manufacturing facility in Kenya, making it the first and only vertically integrated modern cookstove company in Sub-Saharan Africa. The solar-powered facility now has a production capacity of 400,000 stoves per month and provides jobs for over 2,500 people, with half of the workforce being women.

BURN’s stoves, like the Jikokoa, offer significant social, financial, and environmental benefits. A study by UC Berkeley revealed that a $40 investment in a Jikokoa stove could return $1,000 in societal benefits. Over the next three years, BURN plans to expand its reach to Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, DRC, Nigeria, and Ghana, launch five new products, and increase production capacity to 1 million stoves per month.
