Inventor of wood stove hopes to create 10 jobs
John Fagan’s stove uses a technology which, he says, has been around since World War Two when it was used to fuel cars during petrol-rationing.
Fagan, who spent 26 years teaching in Germany, and is now a vegetable grower in Ballydehob, spent nearly four years researching and developing the ‘Eireco Eco-Stove.’ He set out to develop a highly cost-effective wood-burning stove after hearing an item on the Joe Duffy show about recession-hit families picking sticks for fuel in the Phoenix Park.
