Stovers.

The consumption of charcoal  has been mentioned to be 425gr. per person /day for several years in east African Countries. .For a household of 5 will that be around 2.1 kg, and that is what I found in Zambia 2 years ago, between 2 and 3 kg and up too 5 kg was found, depending a bit of size of household. It is not possible to give exactly figures, some have bad charcoal stove and some has good efficient stoves.

 Any how, 2kg charcoal is made from about 14kg firewood.. It is not possible to get more than 270 kg charcoal from one m3 of wood in practice. For cooking on 3stone fireplace I found 15-20kg firewood a day was normal. 

With a Peko Pe TLUD-ND you will have about one hour flame with 600-700°C from 1kg chopped wood and 1hour and 10 minutes on 1kg pellets and for 2-3 kg chopped wood and 2kg of pellets or briquettes it will be possible to make the daily cooking for a household of 5 persons. No smoke and very little soot and tar, depending a bit on type of fuel. The new MUS Peko Pe-ND has no soot and no tar on the pot. 

The main thing will be clean cooking and cheaper  sustainable household energy, and biomass for cooking will create jobs for people and probably be the best way to goin this matter
