Thanks for your note. I agree with your word “sad”. I have been a long time recipient of the print version, but never really involved.

on cookstoves, a sector that has grown in recognition particularly
over the last few years. The journal has been widely appreciated in
our many years of publication, reaching readers in diverse countries
all across the globe. The editorial team would like to say a hearty
thank you to our readers, writers, volunteers, peer reviewers, and
supporters. We hope that all of us will continue HEDON’s legacy
of sharing and debating and learning from one another, to address
the issues we still see for millions of underserved in the household

As Crewe (1997:67) has previously argued, “cooks have not usually been involved in the development of the stove, except to test its ‘acceptability’ after a bout of technical work was complete” suggesting that there is still an unequal focus on the technocratic elements of ICS.</i></span><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px" class=""><i class="">At the same time, the technical concerns (such as efficiency, emissions and safety) prioritised by donors and implementers of stove programmes are not necessarily shared by intended beneficiaries (Tronsco et al. 2007). Indeed, this continues to fuel the one-size fits all approach and in fact what you end up with is a technology that tries to do everything and is stripped of the functions that matter most to the cooks that use it (Figure 3).</i></p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px" class=""><i class="">However, there is growing acceptance in the literature to explore the ‘why’ questions that ultimately lend themselves back to end-user preferences (Beyene and Koch 2013; Kohlin et al. 2011).
