Self done is well done, and it’s a lot of fun! Many people around the world share this attitude. Here you can easily get your construction plans and start building your Lytefire oven.
Join the Hub and the different Lytefire’s forums and connect with hundreds of builders around the world. Many things have already been tested, but maybe you have a great new idea to share.

Nowadays, Clément and the volunteers are informing kids in schools and enthusiastic perople during festivals with their Lytefire DIY oven. They are informing their audience about degrowth and renewable energies.

Sylvain Barbot and volunteers are running this dynamic association based on the island of La Réunion. Their goal is to spread low-tech and solutions supporting sustainability and solar bakery with the BouSol project (Boulangerie Solaire). Together, they built a nice Lytefire DIY stove with a low-tech oven.

Kurt Baumann is a crafts-teacher and based on our DIY construction plans he built a Lytefire 4 Stovetop as a project with his students. The project was an ideal choice for the youngsters to develop their skills in metalworks. And finally they prepared a delicious lunch with the Lytefire!
This Lytefire was later on donated to us and we brought it to France, where it finally continued a new life as part of workshops for schoolchildren with Les Vagabonds de l’énergie.

After studying abroad and working in the solar industry in the US, Moutasem Hassan is ready to return to his conflict-ridden home country and promote solar energy for a more independent Palestine.
Moutasem is motivated by the fact that solar energy not only creates jobs and reduces fossil fuel dependence, it also reduces the greenhouse gas emissions and could pose a way out of poverty. “I’m especially excited about this technology because it can be built locally, so it will not be limited by the harsh import duties imposed on us by Israel.”

Muhammad Hassaan is a 23 year old engineering student from Pakistan. For his final project, Muhammad and his two other teammates Zia Bakht Butt and Bilal Ahmad designed a hybrid solar and biomass power generation system. Part of their system was a solar concentrator, and they were looking for a simple and effective design to bundle sunlight. With our DIY construction plans, they built the Lytefire and were able to successfully test their use-case.
