History in the making!

We held a focus group with women to see what they thought of or new naturalized TLUD designs. In general they were astonished, because:

1. They didn’t think there was sufficient fuel loaded into the TLUD to cook a meal, when in fact, we cooked the meal, boiled water for tea, than sat around and watched the flame.
2. The didn’t think the apparatus would work, because being top-lit, it is so different from traditional chulas
3. They liked not to have to stoke the fire.
4. They liked the almost complete absence of emissions; no smoke
5. They liked cooking standing up.
6. They were impressed at the quantity of char left over, and could see how they could sell it to local restaurants.
7. They asked if they could take it home.
