The oven

It meant to dry cocoa especially in mid-raining where there's continuous rainfall. Continuous rainfall bares cocoa from getting dry because it needs sunshine or heat inorder to dry. Due to this many have developed areas like this which serves as a substitute. The use firewood to dry the cocoa.
