Biomass Cookstoves in Vietnam


Vietnam is synonymous with mindblasting delicious food- pho, crab cakes, soft-shelled crabs, claypot catfish, tilapia, spring rolls, etc. Every meal requires some amount of cooking and fuel burning. I want to share the types of biomass cookstoves that I have seen in the city and the countryside.
