Abstract
To assess the efficiency and potential saving of fuelwood of a new and improved prototype of wood-burning cookstove, three well-known protocols were used: (1) the water boiling test (WBT), which assesses thermal efficiency, boiling time, burning rate, and specific fuel consumption; (2) the controlled cooking test (CCT), which was implemented in 30 rural households to establish the cookstove’s efficiency in terms of specific fuel consumption (SFC); and (3) the kitchen performance test (KPT), also applied in 30 rural households, to measure impact in real household conditions. The improved cookstove presented 15% thermal efficiency, representing a 33% saving in fuelwood. In contrast, the CCT showed a 13.4% reduction in fuelwood consumption, whereas the KPT showed a 11.6% decrease. These research results confirm the findings of other studies in that the efficiency of improved cookstoves under controlled conditions does not necessarily relate to the fuelwood savings achieved when cookstoves are evaluated in a real kitchen environment.
