> Dear Tom,
>
> Emma George sends us her report on stoves being used in Uganda. It
documents
> what has been proven again and again by numerous investigators: that
> replacing the three stone fire with a high mass stove can increase fuel
use.
> Yet, governments and stove promotors continue to build outdated stoves
> demonstrating, I suppose, the inertia of institutions. Luckily, stoves can
> easily be improved by following accepted engineering principles. Several
> improved stoves also tested by Ms. George show that simple stoves can
> improve fuel efficiency while removing smoke from the kitchen.
>
> The appropriate technology movement, which includes building better
> vernacular stoves, would obviously benefit from follow up studies that
> determine whether a project succeeded or not. GTZ deserves a lot of credit
> for funding this report. As the wise man said,  "Those who don't learn
from
> history, are bound to repeat it."
