[Stoves] Cooking in Kampala.

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Nolbert

I agree with Ron that this is important. I see in the video people pulling
out bundles of split fuel cut to length. Is it possible that people could
pay for that service and create charcoal for their own use?

There are some cooking tasks that may be best done on charcoal and others
best done on the TLUD (such as heating water).  It would make a nice pair of
technologies.

Regards
Crispin

Nolbert and list:

    Can you give us the prevailing prices of wood (maybe chips) and char in
Kampala.  I am wondering if there could be a business supplying wood (maybe
even packages of the optimum size) in exchange for the char - possibly even
with a free or leased char-making stove.  Such is going on - even in Uganda
I believe - certainly elsewhere.
