As long as you are below 1000 meter, there should be no problems
with using a natural draft (ND) TLUD stove for your purposes.
(Above 1500 meters a chimney or small fan is needed.).<br>
<br>
I and others will assist you with introducing TLUD stoves into
your project. Specifically, I am preparing instructions for the
easier production of TLUD-ND stoves. It is called Troika, and is
easier than my earlier description that was based on USA hardware
stove parts. I need about 5 days more time. You will need some
workers with tinsmith and metal working skills.<br>
<br>
Have you done any work with TLUD stoves already? <br>
<br>
In the desert with irrigated crops, you should have not problem
with dry fuels like maize cobs. What other ag residues are
available? I assume that wood is totally out.<br>
<br>
Please tell us more about your situation, timeline, objectives,
etc.<br>

Hello sirs!
My name is Samantha and I work for the San Diego Zoo Institute for
Conservation Research, in Conservation Education. For about 2.5 years, I've
been working on a community-based conservation project in rural northwestern
Peru (Lambayeque region, specifically out of the town of Batan Grande), in
support of an Andean bear conservation project. I heard about your Improved
Stoves project from the article in Conservation Magazine.
One of our interests lies in reducing the amount of firewood used by locals
for cooking. We are exploring a fuel efficient stove popular in Peru, called
a Cocina Mejorada. It is somewhat easy to make and from locally available
materials. However, as I understand it, it only reduces the amount of
firewood by about half, but still requires wood. I am definitely interested
in exploring TLUD stoves and the like that use different types of biomass
(lots of corn and cows in the area), but I have zero experience in
engineering or stove design.
I'd love to learn more about what you've done, especially Stove Camp. Are
you at all interested (or do you know someone who is interested) in training
locals in Peru to build and use these types of stoves?
Thanks for your insight!
Cheers,
Samantha
