"The three stone fire is used in most kitchens in Cameroon, both urban and rural to prepare daily meals for the family. In Cameroon 73.5% of the population are using wood as fuel for cooking?  Only 16% use improved cook stoves. (source: http://www.cleancookstoves.org/countri...) I have had many conversations with women who wish to use a better stove; the barriers I saw are: large, heavy pots that are commonly used don’t get enough heat and are poorly supported on readily available energy-saving cookstoves even when a gas stove is present, these large pots are inefficiently heated and therefore this option is too costly women are not familiar with improved cook stoves" - Todd Hoff
