<div><span style="font-size:14px">yes, heavy is standard, and by
DIY or by acquaintance artisan ( I think USA is the same).
thin metal is too light too toppleable, light-weight metal
burning stove is too danger for kids and woman and house,
just in my opinion, many people might think the same way.
something in TLUD stove is contrary to instinct, when
something go wrong, it will be very frastrating.</span></div>

China is a mid-latitude country with clear seasonal variations and
distinctly cool or cold seasons. Thicker, heavier stoves are
needed, and the daily duration of use of the stoves is, for the most
part, vastly longer than in the tropical zones. <br>
<br>
I agree that DIY (do it yourself) is not likely to contribute much
to the cookstove scene in China. <br>
<br>
I disagree about light weight stoves being "toppable" or dangerous
or that TLUD usage is difficult and frustrating. Such things are
relative, and in the hot tropics, a small and portable stove can be
just what the people want. But I am not surprised that such stoves
would not be very appropriate for mid-latitude China.<br>

I have no clear idea. maybe just some modifications on
traditional family stove. insulation, a glass door for fuel-feed
entry. adding a secondary air tube( <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf1xhMmpsFA" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr>v=Jf1xhMmpsFA</a> ).
I think these three will bring miraculous improvement. but it
must be done by themselves or by their friends or artisan
nearby, or maybe factory can manufacture and sell glass door,
insulation material and air tube.
