Please note that the message below (relates to Philips stove in
India) was sent to the stove list at Berkeley.<br>
<a href="mailto:stove@lists.berkeley.edu" target="_blank">stove@lists.berkeley.edu</a><br>
<br>
It does NOT go to the Stoves (note the plural with "s"). but
is very appropriate.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in receiving these stove messages from
Berkeley, you need to provide your name and address to Kirk
Smith's group there. <br>

The monitors/managers of the StoveS listserv can decide if content
from the Berkeley Stove list (singular word) should (or should
not) be sent to all on the StoveS list (plural word.)<br>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica">First published long-term
application (that
we know about) of the Stove Use Monitors (SUM) we pioneered last
decade
-- in this case more than 140k stove-days of observations of the
advanced
forced draft semi-gasifier stove (Philips) as well as the
traditional
chulha we were hoping to displace. This was done in our Newborn
Stove project in India involving two Indian and two US
institutions. The analysis forms part of Ajay Pillarisetti's
PhD
thesis. Webpublished version and supplementary material can be
downloaded from my website below, but please watch for the final
published version as there are often changes made at this stage,
sometimes important.<br>
<br>
In addition to showing the high utility of such measurements and
the
importance of measuring both the new and the old stove over
time, it
reveals an unanticipated pattern of use. Apparently, most women
readily took up the Philips but to a significant extent added to
their
continued use of the chulha. Thus, even though more fuel
efficient
the introduction of the Philips apparently caused a net increase
in fuel
use. Presumably they found a benefit to doing so, but not in a
way
that ended up saving fuel (n.b. this is not a fuel short
area). This is not "stacking" in the way we have come to
use the term, i.e. that the new stove takes only part of the
tasks of the
old one, but perhaps something one might call "super stacking"
-- partly substituting but also adding to the total. <br>
<br>
Not reported here, but soon to come, are the air pollution
measurements
that were done in this study. As you might expect, they
unfortunately show quite modest changes as a result of this
usage
pattern. Best/k<br>

declined steadily over time and stabilized after approximately<br>
200 days; use of the traditional stove remained relatively
