I did a quick scan for wood stoves on Tmall.com and Taobao.com, 2 of the most popular ecommerce sites in China. Most were simple rocket types for camping costing <100 yuan. There were a few ND TLUDs for camping costing around 100 yuan, all looking like they came from the same factory.
I found only one manufacturer selling forced draft TLUDs for home kitchens. Prices are between 500-1000 yuan. The website is at www.wpjn88.com. See attached pix for more info. You can search for more stoves on Chinese e-commerce sites by typing in 柴炉 (firewood stove) or 柴气(wood gas).
On my visits to farm houses up in the mountains of western China, I've never seen a TLUD type stove. Cheap ~200 yuan cast iron chimney stoves are common. Is there a market for biomass stoves in large developing countries like India and China were electricity and LPG are becoming cooking fuels of choice? I don't know, it would be nice to find out from academics and policy makers in those countries.
