[Stoves] Why TLUDs are not mass produced

[Nolbert Muhumuza]

Dear All,

Though i understand the need and urgency to have stoves mass produced
in "china", i am to a view that this can be done by hand in a
developing country.

Some of you might have already read from Paul Anderson that we are
setting up a factory in Uganda which is basically producing parts of
the Quad TLUD stove. The parts can easily be transported to another
location where they can be assembled (another job created there).
With a couple of young people who will gladly learn and concentrate on
making different of this stove, we will in the end be producing 50
stoves per day, that's 15,600 each year! All hand-made using basic
tools!!!

At Awamu Biomass Energy Ltd (ABE), we are aware that this is still
somewhat a drop in the ocean, but IF things can get going, then the
trick would be to increase the personnel and this will increase the
output.

Job  created - YES. Stoves mass produced - YES.

Here am attaching some pictures of of the Quad stove.

Regards, Nolbert.
