are all Pellet stoves. And the pellets are supplied for the
duration of the testing to reduce variability. A good test as
long as you are ready to supply pellets. Otherwise I'm thinking
a waste of time and money. <br>

stoves were introduced on a trial basis to obtain feedback on
user experiences and evaluate whether the stove was robust to
'real life' usage conditions. Pelletized biomass fuel produced
from a nearby village-scale factory was supplied to homes at no
cost to remove barriers to stove use. Selected homes were
already enrolled in a household energy study. A detailed

other household energy needs leads to severe household air
pollution and adverse health impacts in adults and children.
Replacing traditional solid fuel stoves with high
efficiency, low-polluting semi-gasifier stoves can
potentially contribute to addressing this global problem.
The success of semi-gasifier cookstove implementation
initiatives depends not only on the technical performance
and safety of the stove, but also the compatibility of the
stove design with local cooking practices, the needs and
preferences of stove users, and community economic
structures. Many past stove design initiatives have failed
to address one or more of these dimensions during the design
process, resulting in failure of stoves to achieve
long-term, exclusive use and market penetration. This study
presents a user-centered, iterative engineering design
approach to developing a semi-gasifier biomass cookstove for
rural Chinese homes. Our approach places equal emphasis on
stove performance and meeting the preferences of individuals
most likely to adopt the clean stove technology. Five stove
prototypes were iteratively developed following energy
market and policy evaluation, laboratory and field
evaluations of stove performance and user experience, and
direct interactions with stove users. The most current stove
prototype achieved high performance in the field on thermal
efficiency (ISO Tier 3) and pollutant emissions (ISO Tier
4), and was received favorably by rural households in the
Sichuan province of Southwest China. Among household cooks
receiving the final prototype of the intervention stove, 88%
reported lighting and using it at least once. At five months
post-intervention, the semi-gasifier stoves were used at
least once on an average of 68% [95% CI: 43, 93] of days.
Our proposed design strategy can be applied to other stove
development initiatives in China and other countries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
