As price of cooking gas soars nationwide, a National Youth Service Corps member in Enugu State, Chioma Ede, 27, has embarked on the sale of multipurpose charcoal stove.
Ede told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Friday that the multipurpose Charcoal stove was locally made and could be used for cooking, brooding, baking and roasting.
The Mass Communication graduate of Ebonyi State University, added that it was specially designed with clay, strong aluminum and cement and could last for a minimum of four years depending on the usage.
“The clay in the stove does not allow the heat coming out from the charcoal to escape quickly thereby allowing you use a small quantity of Charcoal to cook a large meal.
“The charcoal stove is completely sealed to prevent dirt coming out of the charcoal from littering your cooking environment and there is an opening in the stove where you can dispose the dirt when it gets filled up,” she said.
