smokey kitchens even for well to do

[Jeff Forssell <JEFF.FORSSELL@ssvh.se>]

An earlier experience (Tanzania 1989) of well-meant attempts to use a
chimney to free women from a smokey Hell was to be found in the house of a
economically well off cabinet minister. The kitchen was planned to be IN the
house and a BIG chimney (about 1 square meter) was made over the iron grate
where the pots were to be above the wood fire. Though it seemed
unnecessarily expensive and not able to control like a more closed-in fire,
I would have thought that it would have at least taken away the smoke. But
it apparently didn't (not enough anyhow), so they had set up a corrugated
iron shed with 3 stone stoves out behind the house. It was, as usual,
blackened with smoke.
