THIS is an extremely important niche for Awamu and for TLUDs
everywhere. Just one highly common, frequent (maybe even multiple
times per day) and useful application (in this case water heating
for bathing or for boiling to drink) to provide sufficient market
and demand for introducing the TLUD technology to households and
to schools. TLUD convenience as pointed out by Crispin and the
use of less expensive fuel could turn the tide of acceptance in
some communities.<br>
<br>
We need to think of "kitchens" or separate areas where the pots
are black and that does not matter.<br>
<br>
Note that this is not just for boiling water for drinking, which
can be ANOTHER major utility of TLUD stoves.<br>

<pre>Dear Ron
> Anything more on wood prices in town would be helpful. And for anything
in large quantities.
> Any data on the main cooking fuels if not char? Propane, electricity,
etc. Much wood?
The study just finished is being compiled. Early indications are that a
rough split of 40% cooking primarily with wood, 40% cooking primarily with
(subsidised) LPG, 20% with kerosene and electricity.
Of the 40% using LPG, 70% are using wood to heat water.
Of the 40% using wood, over 70% are using LPG to some extent, even in places
quite far from a supply.
It means about 70 of the whole population is using wood for heating water,
with a smaller fraction using it more and more as income decreases.
Cecil says kitchens are becoming divided into a clean portion with wood and
dirty pots, and a clean side with LPG and clean pots. There is an
opportunity in the market for water-heating-only devices which are highly
suited to TLUD powering because the task is fixed and predictable, plus it
operates at full power all the time. Think of it as a biomass-powered
kettle.
