<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The stove is typical of the “Rural Improved Stove project” stoves that were (mostly) built-in.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">For interest, here are some traditional designs:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><img width="755" height="419" style="width:7.8666in;height:4.3666in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D7611E.F06E1BA0" alt="Diagram
Description automatically generated with medium confidence"></span><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The big difference between the traditional stoves and the 1982-1992 initiative is the grate under the fire with a large ash cleanout area underneath. These stoves can burn well (enough) with rice
and wheat straw. The exposed area of the wok is large to accommodate a large fire cooking at high temperature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Such fires are well-suited to having a large rapid lighting, fast burn and quick burnout. That suits for cooking style for a great portion of the country. Considering a TLUD one must also consider
how you would reproduce the flame’s intensity. Generally speaking the gasifiers do not have anything like the firepower of an agriwaste stove. If the char is not burned, then the cook has to provide additional fuel to cover for the energy lost to retained
char. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">As you will appreciate, the cooking style will not change, the fuel will probably not change, so if the fuel consumption is the same, extracting char can only be accomplished by increasing the heat
transfer efficiency and having a smaller fire. If you want to have an actual decrease in fuel consumption, the efficiency has to be further improved. To put numbers on it, if the traditional stove efficiency is 25% and you want to extract 50% of the energy
as char, the heat transfer efficiency has to be increased to 50% - no mean feat for a cooking stove. To reduce input energy consumption and still collect 50% as char, it would be necessary to reach say 60% - a tall order for a biomass stove.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
