From Design to Deployment – The Making of the SPITFIRE Stove

Every element of the SPITFIRE Project reflects careful engineering and a deep understanding of the challenges faced in institutional cooking environments. European Thermodynamics Limited (ETL) has worked closely with partners to design, prototype, and refine the stove, ensuring it delivers durability, efficiency, and ease of use.

Manufacturing focuses on precision and performance, combining advanced materials with robust construction techniques. Each stove is assembled to exacting standards, ensuring reliability even under heavy daily use. ETL’s expertise in thermal systems and large-scale thermoelectric module integration ensures that the cookstove performs consistently while maintaining a compact, transportable design.
A key element of the project’s outreach will be the creation of digital video content, capturing the manufacturing process, design evolution, and final product testing. This visual storytelling approach provides transparency, celebrates innovation, and helps audiences understand the real-world impact of the technology.

By showcasing the production process from engineering drawings to final assembly. ETL aims to highlight not just the technology, but the human ingenuity behind it. Every component tells a story of collaboration, research, and dedication to sustainable progress.
