One of the characteristics of humankind is the ability to control fire and utilise it to prepare food. The oldest cooking fuel is firewood in the form of logs and branches from trees. Charcoal is the fuel derived from wood by pyrolysis in the process of carbonisation: the wood looses the volatile contents and the lighter yet energy-dense char remains. Due to the ease of transport and use, charcoal has become a prevalent cooking fuel in many urban areas of this planet, while firewood is more prevalent in rural areas.
As firewood and charcoal have very different burning properties they need different devices (stoves) for cooking. This section deals with both fuel-types seperately. Other types of biomass feature in the next chapter Cooking with other Biomass Fuels. (link reinsetzen)
Not all biomass comes in the form of logs and thicker branches of trees, that have been used as cooking fuel since humans learned how to prepare food with the help of a domesticated fire. The efficient and clean use of other types of biomass as fuels requires some preparation, processing and refining of the fuel. Some fuel types need specific set-ups and burners to combust well and generate heat that is useful for cooking. Thus, this section is structured by the types of biomass fuels, including the devices needed for cooking with each fuel. You find information on other fuels that are not based on biomass (solar, fossil fuels) in a separate chapter. Please note that most households do not only rely on one type of fuel only. Mostly households have cater for the household energy needs wiht a mix of different fuels. People make choices depending on many factors like the availability, affordability, convenience and safety of a fuel.
