[Stoves] Confirm stove efficiencies in Vietnam

[Marc Pare]

Tuong --

How about Kirk Smith's

GREENHOUSE GASES FROM SMALL-SCALE COMBUSTION DEVICES IN DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES: PHASE IIA Household Stoves in India

It would be good to cross reference the efficiencies you found. For
example, for an LPG stove, the report eff is only just over 50%.

It's from 1999. There are more recent surveys (from Aprovecho, for example).

I didn't see biogas in your survey. PPRE has a biogas program, so maybe you
don't want to leave them out :)

Also, I'm not sure reporting a single efficiency number is all that useful.
The stove types you detail have much variation depending on construction
quality, operation, fuel type, pot size, etc.

Hope this helps, good luck,
