[Stoves] Dung cakes

[Frank Shields]

Greetings Stovers,

<snip>


> Overall rural fuel inflation was 6.8% in 2015-16, which is more than two-and-a-half times the figure for urban areas -2.7%.The sharp increase in rural cooking fuels was due to soaring prices of dung cake and firewood chips. What caused inflation is not known, but it is likely that the supply of dung cake is falling due to fewer people making them.

Are firewood chips that made from chipping branches?

And how are dung cakes made? Any quality control? any energy specifications? 
How do they burn - flame? smoldering? 



Thanks

Frank
