What is "instove"

InStove (Institutional Stove Solutions) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2012 with the goal of reducing climate damage, deforestation, indoor air pollution, and respiratory diseases by the manufacture and distribution of highly efficient institutional rocket-style stoves in the developing world. Their cook stoves are used in large institutional settings such as refugee camps and schools, and empower the women who cook with them through implementation of safe and efficient cook stove technology to minimize personal and environmental health risks. InStove's mission is to relieve suffering, improve health, and reduce harm to the environment through the placement of highly efficient biomass cook stoves in vulnerable communities worldwide.

InStove's founders are Fred Colgan and Damon Ogle. The nonprofit is based in Cottage Grove, Oregon.
