It is not like any method you will have seen before and offers a common framework for testing in every community, on every stove, with every fuel, every pot and every cooking style. The test results are particular to the community in which the stoves are to be used. Performance is measured against a local baseline.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The basics of it are described in the “Test Method” document. Not every detail is provided in that concise version but there is a Laboratory Manual and spreadsheets that do for those with a need for them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Attention Social Scientists and Programme Managers:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The cooking tasks selected for performance rating have been determined during carefully conducted field assessments allowing for a characterisation of the behaviour of people in the target market. Rather than evaluating the impact of a stove technology during roll-out or after is has been completed, the product performance list is developed on the basis of expressed desires, aspirational features, product suitability and the programme goals of the government and financing institutions. During this preliminary phase many preconceptions were validated or dismissed and the customer’s actual cooking behaviours captured accurately enough to create a predictive performance test. This approach has shaped both the target performance benchmarks and the evaluation method.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Attention Water Boilers:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have a stove product that can be operated with no attention after lighting, such as a TLUD gasifier, please note that there is a new product type requested which is a dedicated water boiler. This is not a cooking stove, it is only for boiling water. This common task is done in many modern kitchens using a kettle. It is a call for a biomass-fired kettle. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The efficiency requirement is much high than for a cooking stove because it is a dedicated appliance. See the documents for details. If you have a device that can efficiently bring at least 5 litres of water to a boil without any attention after lighting, maintain the boil briefly to assure the temperature was reached, then shut off, you may have a winner. Eight mm diameter wood pellets are considered ‘available’ even if at this time there is no systematic supply in most communities. However it is intended that they will be if there is a market for them. Processed biomass and agri-waste may be your choice.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This type of device can be called a ‘fuel, fire and forget’ or F<sup>3</sup> appliance.
