The result of my collegues' few months of work~ 50% of wood usage, no smoke in the kitchen, micro business creation for manufacturing & installs ~ minimalism and local appropriateness are key.

TIL about thermal cookers and rocket stoves.

Thermal cookers replace slow cookers by placing a hot pot (casserole dish etc) into an insulated box, use a fraction of the energy, and can even be DIY'd.

Rocket stoves are little wood stoves can be flat packed to be taken camping. Supposedly they are smokeless, and much more efficient.

Some good reading:

LOW-TECH MAGAZINEIf We Insulate Our Houses, Why Not Our Cooking Pots?While modern cooking stoves are convenient, when it comes to energy use they leave a lot to be desired. As we have seen in the previous article, the thermal efficiency of an electric hob does not exceed that of a conventional open fire. In both cases almost 90% of the primary energy is lost during the cooking process. Cooking food could be achieved in a far more energy efficient way, especially if the cooking pot itself is insulated. This is the principle behind the fireless cooker, a well-insulated box that keeps food simmering with only the heat of the cooking pot itself. A fireless cooker doubles the efficiency of any type of cooking device because it shortens the time on...
