[Stoves] farmed fuels

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Pigeon pea material is widely used in the Sahel as a cooking fuel, along with millet stalks.

Both require that standard stoves to be modified to get the fuel in.

There was stove and fuel available in Kampala in 1986 that was TLUD stove burning bound reeds and grass with the grass standing vertically in the chamber. Therefore I suggest that millet stalks (akin to corn stover) might work if tightly bound to prevent sparks from dropping down.

That stove and fuel was a commercial product by the end of 1987 when I first heard about it.

DEARS,

    Sweden uses SALIX.

     Indonesia uses KNOTWEET 3x 270 cm (Japanse duizendknoop )
The strong KNOT make new hollow stalks  every year !!  Only a knife is needed for harvesting . Cut each stalk chamber before burning !

Hi All,

Does anyone have any stories about using farmed fuels for cook stoves.  I grew some Pigeon Pea plants last year and the stalks burn well in a TLUD-ND.  They died from the frost during the winter, but we did get a small crop of peas.
