for a cookstove. In the field, cookstoves can undergo a substantial amount of stress due to high and frequent heat cycles. If inadequate materials are selected in the design stage, the cookstove will have trouble meeting the needs of the customer. Christian
L’Orange from Colorado State University Engines and Energy Conversion Lab (CSU-EECL), Laura Clough from the Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP) International, Joseph Ndemere Arineitwe from the Center for Integrated Research and Development Uganda (CIRCODU),
