Abstract

The domestic sector relies heavily on traditional sources of energy mainly for cooking for which traditional cook stoves are often used. These cook stoves are usually thermally as well as environmentally inefficient and hence create drudgery and health problems. Field evidences from many countries shows that the introduction of improved cook stoves has brought considerable benefit to rural masses. This paper is an attempt to address such a need and endeavors to improve on the technological development of cook stoves and review of what makes for success and failure for design of cook stoves.
