[Stoves] Failure

[Max Turunen]

Excellent. There is Hope :)

Also kind of would point that it is perhaps maybe just maybe... best to
really seriously, I mean Adult's seriously, focus on as low tech solutions
as is possible, to maximize the local maintenance ability.
Less it needs special parts or materials not locally available, better.
Less it needs special technical skills for maintenance, the better, and
more resilient against calamities.
(for enabling local technology skills and training, additional, improving
things... add-ons that enhance the solution's working further, and such:
will likely be popular and on demand... but if specialists disappear, the
area basic life support infrastructure needs not crumble).

On that low-tech and local materials... as an example, a self and local
areas NGO from Senegal: Suuxat Rao, seems to have most efficient 'method
material cost and life cycle energy cost' stoves and local area reforesting
methods, while costing fraction of other international ngo, aid, and state
methods, still being immensely more effective on that area than those costy
attempted methods by wealthier and highly educated and prestiged people
from elsewhere.
