New York Times : A new reality-based cooking show, Stoveman , which airs today on Vimeo , documents the efforts of two men who travel to developing countries to provide the residents with rocket stoves . The show is part of the Paradigm Project , a “low profit” business that depends on revenue earned from the sale of carbon credits; with Stoveman, credits are generated because the highly efficient wood-burning stoves get more cooking power with less combustion and heat-trapping pollution. In the first episode of the new series, principals Greg Spencer and Austin Mann experience the challenges facing wood-collecting women of the nomadic Gabbra culture of northern Kenya.
