Bread Oven for Uganda

This project was concerned with the design and construction of a bread oven for use in Soroti, Uganda. The oven had to be:

• Portable (not brick)
• Cheap
• Easy to make
• Wood - fired
• Capable of baking 300 loaves a day

The resulting design cost about £400 to build, and consists of a box in a box in a box. The central box contains the bread, the next box the fire and hot gasses, and the outer box is filled with sand to provide thermal insulation.
