Dear Dr. N

Thankyou for that report.  It is interesting how much resistance there is to 
increasing the stove height.   One could for example raise the surface onto 
which the roti was placed instead of lowering the stove.

I have heard many reports about stoves in India being highly constrained by 
the demand that the height be limited to what is in fact an 
inadequate-for-combustion size.

Is it not possible to introduce other methods of getting either the cook or 
the working surface raise so that stoves with better combustion and 
performance can be introduced?  It certainly would be better for the cook if 
they were accomodated on comfort, while also giving the fire room to breathe 
properly.

Thanks
Crispin
