INTRODUCTION
Firewood has become a mat ter of ser ious conc erndue to dwindl ing forest resources coupled with excessiveconsumpt ion resul t ing f rom wasteful and inef f ic ient methodsof cook ing. E f f o r t s a re now be ing made by var ious researc hersto design mor e ef f ic ient and less expensive cooking stoves.
This document is a survey of s igni f icant wor ld l i teratureon sol id fuel cook ing s toves.
