I hope that Teddy Kinyanjui of Cookwell stoves in Kenya can respond
about the inspiraton for the KCJ (mentioned below). Teddy's father
was the originator/developer in Kenya many years ago.<br>

This seems to be the most widely cited paper on the subject of
what makes biomass stoves usable and used, but it is nearly 25

Successful Intervention
Programs and Recommendations for Future Intervention Efforts

May 2, 2003. Looks like a student paper for WWS 402f:
Sustainable Development- Can We Do It?
Prof. Denise L. Mauzerall.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I made an interesting discovery -- according to <a
href="https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/view/7385282/improved-biomass-cooking-stove-for-household-use-pdf-101-mb-"
moz-do-not-send="true">this</a> 1982 paper submitted to the
National Energy Administration, the Thai bucket stove is
thought to have originated in China and could have been
brought to Thailand a thousand years earlier (p. 33-34).<br>
<br>
The report also says (p. 44) that Meta Systems Inc. Thai Group
reviewed efficiency of various Thai bucket stoves in 1982. I
was at Meta Systems in 1980-1 and learned my biomass balance
work and cookstoves projects there. I probably know some folks
who worked on that project. <br>
<br>
I think the recommendations of this report 35 years ago (on p.
241-2) are still relevant. <br>
<br>
Reinventing the wheel keeps subsequent generations employed in
the good cause. <br>

The Thai Bucket Stove was designed by Robert van der Plas
in 1982. Does anyone know who funded that development? Did
he do it as part of a project, or on his own?<br>
