[Stoves] Major case study about TLUD stoves

[alex english]

Paul,
It is good to see this report. You have persevered.

The charcoal was purchased back for 12 cents/kg. What happened to it next?
Was it used in the form it was produced? If these homes wanted to buy
charcoal what would it cost? Did this new supply have any change the local
market price?
Congratulations.
Alex
