BURN Manufacturing will on March 15 release the third generation of the clean burning jikokoaTM.
The improvements in BURN’s new jikokoaTM focus on increased durability and an improved cooking experience.
The improvements result in a jiko that lasts twice as long as the second generation jikokoaTM and 75% longer than any other jiko on the market. The jiko also allows customers to cook on larger sufurias with new larger pot supports.
Over 80 percent of Kenyan people live on less than Sh200 a day and spend as much as Sh40,000 a year on charcoal for cooking.
BURN’s new model jikokoaTM – or “saving stove” in Swahili – reduces charcoal use by 60 percent, and produces 64 percent less smoke. The new jikokoaTM will retail for Sh3,990 and saves households up to Sh18,000 a year.
Since 2013, more than 133,000 Kenyans have bought a life-saving jikokoaTM.
On BURN’s decision to launch the third model jikokoaTM, BURN’s GM Boston Nyer said: “Cooking must not bankrupt you. Our mission is to give Kenyans a superior product – the jikokoaTM does that by cutting charcoal use and saving consumers money while improving their air quality.”
