[Stoves] Energy content cow dung

[Sarbagya Tuladhar]

Hi Bob,

Really interesting on the work regarding the Maasai stove for cow dung. Can you provide me more information on the stove ? Dung burning for fuel is a major problem here in South Nepal and we are exploring on ways to combat them.

Cheers

I want to do some analysis and need a reasonable estimate of energy per mass of some average dung.  Googling I got about 75% of the energy density in hard wood fuel. Please send me info or sources on this. Don't need to bore the whole list so use my email.  Thanks
