"A stove is a device that generates heat from an energy carrier and makes that heat available for the intended use in a specific application.The combination of heat generation and heat transfer enables a cook stove to perform the purpose of cooking food fit for human consumption".[1] Cook stoves are considered “improved” if they use less energy and/or if they emit less smoke compared to a more traditional stove.
While focusing on relative performance of stoves, the assessment of stove efficiency is circumstantial. For instance, a clay stove is perceived as an efficient stove in households with open fire places and as an inefficient stove in households which are using e.g. a rocket stove.
The production and commercialization of ICS has been observed to large extents in China and India, where governments have promoted their use, and in Kenya, where a large commercial market developed.[5]
