[Stoves] the price of bottled gas

[Christina Espinosa]

Thanks Crispin!

I would love to hear more from Cecil. We struggled while trying to decide
between in depth interviews and surveys. We ultimately decided on surveys
in order to gather a significant enough sample size to try and understand
more about fuel perception (of which another 10-15 questions are focused).
We didn't want to make assumptions about fuel perception without having a
significant enough sample size. Since Guatemala had limited data on the
kinds of questions we were interested we choose to go the survey route. We
did however complete in-depth ethnographic interviews before we designed
our survey.

Best,
Christina
