This study presents the design, fabrication, and preliminary testing of a forced draft domestic biomass cookstove. Traditional natural draft biomass stoves suffer from incomplete combustion, higher smoke generation, poor flame stability, and lower thermal efficiency. To overcome these issues, the proposed stove uses a bottom-mounted fan/blower to supply forced air into the combustion chamber. This improves oxygen availability, air–fuel mixing, combustion stability, and heat transfer. The stove was fabricatedusingmildsteel with insulation support, and its performance was tested using the Water Boiling Test method. The study focuses on fuel consumption, boiling performance, smoke reduction, and thermal efficiency improvement for domestic biomass cooking applications.
