[Stoves] Well-Tended Fires Outperform Modern Cooking Stoves

[Bruno M.]

Dear Stovers,

recently i stumbled over an interesting article,
from Lowtechmagazine .com
( they try to show that allot of old tech & simple tech solutions
to everyday needs are many time a better solution or more beneficial
/ more efficient then modern hightech stuff.)

They made a lengthy article where in they compare
modern day first world cook stoves with 3stone fires
but also with some  'Improved biomass cook stoves'
which is the subject from this group.

A worthwhile read, imo.:

Contains many graphs and references;
written by a certain Kris De Decker who has Belgian roots i guess but 
now lives in Spain.
