<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br></div>I want to second two important points that Ahn makes in regard to TLUDs.<br><br></div>One is that even in a geographically small area in a relatively homogenous demographic there is a diversity of reasons for people to try an improved stove. No one stove can be expected to be all things to all people. In our project one thing we are learning is how important choice is to consumers. This is especially important with TLUDS, but I think applies equally to rocket stoves.. If you have different sizes of stoves and cook-top accessories, designed to go with the stoves, then you increase the cooks convenience and adoption.<br>
<br></div>The other point is the "batch" aspect of TLUD stoves. It's not the limitation it is preceived to be. You can feed TLUDs more fuel and keep them going. I have done it for up to 3 hours. You can also used this approach to off set the limited turn down ratio. You have to feed it in a metered way. Cooks learn their stoves and adjust if the appliance is making their cooking experience better. You can do this with a rocket stove also, but again, you have to feed it. So really where is the difference in convenience?<br>
