The Lazola 3 solar box cooker
The Lazola-Initiative zur Verbreitung solaren Kochens e.V. in Paderborn, Germany is a nonprofit organization. The members are volunteers. The main objective is the development and diffusion of Lazola Stove. The Lazola initiative supports NGOs or other interested parties in the planning and implementation of Lazola solar cooker projects. Lazola itself does not conduct projects. The Lazola initiative was founded by Jo Hasler in 2003 with friends in order to advance the development of solar box cookers.

- NEW: May 2025: Christian Fenner, a solar cooking and solar drying advocate with the LAZOLA-Initiative, built a Kiin solar dryer according to Bernhard Müller's instructions - the simplest version, without a fan or, thermo-element to control the fan. With the very sunny spring and early summer in Germany this year (2025), the solar dryer has worked very well. He displays freshly sliced and dried bananas, which would have been wasted without this solar drying option. A very tasty snack! Contact the LAZOLA-Initiative at info@lazola.de if you have questions.
