Not to be a jerk, but if this stove improved the cook hut so much why didn't you donate it to the village? This way you know their fuel usage goes down and char gets used. You also could add a wire guard so that children don't fall on it knocking it over and burning them selves.
@astrialkil Not a jerky question at all, quite the contrary. As for donating, thanks to our funders, through our pilot programs, we have been donating thousands of LuciaStoves all over the world. More importantly, what we do is not give LuciaStoves but help local communities create their own self sustaining locally owned and run LuciaStove and biomass fuel pellet factories.
@astrialkil As for a wire guard, check out the video entitled a Togolese LuciaStove, I think you’ll like what we did. Nice that we’ve been thinking along the same lines, thanks for the great question.
@marthale7 Thanks marthale7, Over the past months even when we had no common language one of the happiest things that happened over and over again when we lit one of the donated LuciaStoves was women would shake their head and pantomime eyes burning to say that finally their eyes did not hurt while cooking. Hard work, but VERY rewarding.

@WorldStove Cool! I would like to be first on your list for factories in Colorado when the U.S.A. economy permanently collapses the end of the year.

I am amazed at how it does not smoke.
