<strong>Micro</strong>-<strong><strong>gas</strong>ification</strong>: <strong>Cooking</strong> <strong>with</strong> <strong>gas</strong> <strong>from</strong> dry <strong>biomass</strong><br />

Conclusion: any cook-stove solution must<br />

satisfy the cook (convenience of use, provide appropriate heat suitable for local dishes,<br />

culturally acceptable, time need to tend the fire, etc)<br />

use the locally available fuels (<strong>with</strong>out tedious effort for fuel preparation)<br />

be affordable (local manufacture based on locally available materials, or imported at a<br />

reasonable cost)<br />

satisfy other needs of the user (like the production of biochar, provision of light, etc.)<br />

Stoves must adapt to people and traditional cooking habits,<br />

not the other way round! 14<br />
