Even while most people now cook using modern stoves and ovens some still rely on traditional mud stove. Especially in Coasal Karnataka we use mud stoves to cook rice and for sanitary purposes like bathing. However the original mud stove, required a lot of time and firewood to operate. With this in mind and the rapidly rising cost of fuel, we developed the 3-in-1 Astra Ole, which served both cooking and sanitation with just one fire. This three-in-one smokeless burner, also known as “Astra Ole,” was developed by us at Bantwal, Dakshin Kannada (Mangaluru).
