[Stoves] Stove costs

[Paul Olivier]

Crispin,

I am not sure exactly what happens when people run out of gas.
Some borrow money from loan-sharks.
Some burn low-grade biomass.
Some buy charcoal from minority people.
Some minority people make charcoal to get them through hard times.
Some minority people face starvation for three to four months each year.
