KNOW SEUNUNGKEE BATEE THE ACEH COMMUNITY

Seunungkee is a traditional stove that is widely available among the people of Aceh. This stove is still used by the people of Aceh, especially those who live in rural areas.

Seunungkee batee means stone stove. From the name it is clear that the raw material for this stove is stone. A good stone as an ingredient for making seunungkee batee is a stone that is the same size and oval shaped. The stone is resistant to fire and usually has a smooth surface.

The amount of stone to make the stove depends on the needs. To make a single eye stove three stones will be needed. If you want to add one more eye, just add two stones, and so on. The two eye stoves use five pieces of stone while seven stoves are used to make three stoves.

How to make stone stoves is relatively easy. The way to make it is to choose the location where the stove will be placed. Then, plant the stone on the ground with one third or a quarter of the part buried in the ground. The shape of the rock formation is a triangle with both angles on the right and left respectively.

If you want to add one more stove, just plant two more triangular shaped stones next to the stove that has been made. The addition of one new stove eye is enough to plant two stones with a triangular formation next to the stove that has been made with one of the corners joining the stove that was made previously.

Making this stove is more practical. Firewood can be put in wood through three holes. However, the seunungkee batee has its drawbacks, namely that the wind easily enters the furnace because there are two holes besides the hole in the front of the furnace. Another disadvantage is that pan equipment is easily shaken because the top of each stone is often uneven.
