The Modified Justa Stove is a version of the [[Justa stove]]. This particular version is being disseminated by [[Foro Para el Desarollo Sostentable Stove Dissemination Program]] located in San Cristobal de las Casas Chiapas. The Foro stove team refers to this stove as the ''Justa Mejorada'' which in Spanish means the "Improved Justa." This page is titled "Modified Justa" because calling this stove an "Improved Justa" may be misleading. The main modification that characterizes this Modified Justa from the original Justa is in the design of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber of the Justa has a metal insert with the classical rocket box shape that has been proven in laboratories to have a high efficiency of transferring energy from the biomass fuel to the cooking surface. | |||
