You might wish to direct your question to the [stoves] list
(CC'd). I have tried jatropha nuts in a TLUD. The whole idea of
improving a "three stone stove" (fire) seems like it would probably
require hardware anyway, even if it is just a piece of sheet metal
to wrap around the base of the fire and protect it from wind /
reflect the heat back into the centre. And, if you have the sheet
metal anyway...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">It may be a far cry from burning jatropha
in a TLUD, but has anyone tried burning the dried fruit in a
three stone fire? Would addition of some kind of grate to get
them up off the ground be feasible or productive? The poorest
of women, the ones I want to help, probably earn less than a
dollar a day and can save nothing. I wonder whether anyone
has thought about trying to improve the three stone stove---<o:p></o:p></p>
