New Yorker magazine article on the quest for the perfect stove

December 15, 2009

The December 21st issue of The Newyorker magazine has a fascinating article about one inventor’s quest for the perfect stove for the developing world.

In typical Newyorker fashion, the story focuses on some of the quirkier aspects of the inventors of stoves and the trials and tribulations of getting these done and adopted. Still, it’s an excellent read.

The article’s author discussed the story this morning with radio talkshow host Brian Lehrer on New York’s Public Radio, WNYC. The program took one call during the interview, which came from yours truly at The Charcoal Project.  In the nanosecond we had, we advocated for massive support for the global conversion to energy efficient stoves and kilns and alternative biomass fuels.

There is little doubt that stoves are dans le vent these days! Roll stoves!
