I believe I may have brought up this issue several years back.

It seems one thing item that is truly needed is a simple inexpensive long 
lasting
rocket elbow the can be built into anything----
cement and stone housing
plastered cow dung
wooden box with ashes
galvanized cylinder with glass wool.
whatever.

Fired ceramic, titanium, stainless steel all come to  mind immediately. A 
flat sheet foldable tabbed lockable elbow
probably would be small and light enough for world wide distribution should 
be feasible. especially if made in say in India or china.

For organizations  like Green Crescent, Red Cross or Fema  these could be 
stored and prepositioned for immediate distribution after major disasters
like earthquakes, tsunamis or typhoons.

I have seen and priced many fine attractive and beautiful stoves from all 
around the world. Some of these stoves are
as cheap as say $20.00 or $30.00,  then you find out shipping is say 100 200 
or 300 dollars.

Welcome back to the 3 stone fire.
