A Sigri is a stove used for cooking, especially in North India. The fuel used is usually coal, dried cow dung and wood, and is therefore useful for those who cannot afford liquefied petroleum gas stoves. Sigris are also used during winters for warmth.
Lighting a Sigri is requires a substantial amount of effort. First coal, cow dung or wood pieces are loaded from the upper opening. A piece of cow dung (perhaps soaked in kerosene) is then lit and inserted through the hole in the side below the iron rods. The Sigri is then left in the open air until it stops emitting smoke - once up to temperature, it will produce a smokeless heat.
