[Stoves] TLUD Design Bachelor Theisis

[Anderson, Paul]

The highly successful Champion ND TLUD (close to 40,000 stoves in India) resolves the need for continual cooking by having a second fuel canister (gasifier) with every stove.   And the pot does NOT sit on the gasifier.   

With tin cans, a DIY stove maker can accomplish the same thing at very low cost.
