Mudstoves. And why not?

Sick of spending hours everyday collecting firewood? Here, my friends is how you make a mudstove.



Materials:
4 buckets termite mound dirt
1 bucket cow shit (dried)
1 bucket grass
1 cup ash
water
a machete
3 large stones
small, naive children



Methods:
1)Send small, naive children to fetch said materials for you. Give them candy.
2)Pour all of the materials together in one big pile, minus the stones and the small, naive children, and chop it all up with a machete.
3)Add water.
4)Take off shoes. Mix together dirt, grass, ash, shit and water together with feet until desired consisitency is reached. This requires dancing and refusing to think about what it is exactly that you are stepping in.
5)When thoroughly mixed, cover and let sit for a week until it starts to smell a little funky.
6)Arrange the 3 stones in kitchen area. Place large pot on top of stones. Form rounded mud oven around the stones until it reaches the bottom of the pot.
7)Cut out hole in front for firewood.
8)Carve "Made with love by Sali Senghore" on back of mudstove, but look like you're working.
9)Let dry for one week before cooking.
10)Cook with mudstove, using 50% less firewood, and be happy about it.

Now everyone go and make one in your backyard.
