Criteria for the stove

In the development work with the stove it was from the start, that if a new improved stove should be able to contribute to fulfilling the objectives for the project, the stove should be able to meet the following criteria:
The saving of fire wood achieved by using this stove should be at least 50 %. Without such a saving it would not be possible to achieve a sufficient interest from the potential users of the stove.
The indoor pollution from the use of the stove should be significant lower than from the traditional 3-stone fireplace.
The stove should be easy to use.
The stove should be possible for local people to build the stove preferably with contribution from the users themselves.
The building of the stove should be based on local materials.
The stove should be relative cheap to build.
