[Stoves] Jatropha fruit as fuel?

[Joyce Lockard]

I am interested in finding free fuel for the poorest of women and would like
to know where jatropha is growing wild. According to a website, the
Portuguese spread it around the world.

Does anyone know whether jatropha fruit can be safely burned as fuel in
three stone or other stoves inside houses, ie does burning destroy the toxic
phorbol esthers or are the emissions toxic? 

Has anyone added a simple grate to a three stove so that jatropha fruit can
be burned?

Is there a manufactured stove that is designed to burn jatropha fruit?
