“…Figure 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of natural up draft gasifier stove. This stove is constructed by Hailu (2022) from mild steel sheet metal and can hold a maximum of 0.0005 m 3 (500 gm) of fuel for effective gasification. Secondary air enters the stove through the gap between the external cylinder and the internal gasifier chamber.…”

“…Due to the eclectic amount of highly appealing characteristics of gasifier cook stoves, including high efficiency, smoke-free safe combustion, uniform and steady flame, simplicity of controlling the flame, and operational capability for long periods ( Raman et al , 2014 ), the advancement of gasifier cooking stoves became significant. Therefore, to date, several research studies had been performed on the design and development of gasifier cooking stoves with the goal of increasing efficiency and dwindling emission such as producer gas stove with bluff-body shape in burner ( Susastriawan et al , 2021 ), producer gas stove ( Panwar et al , 2011 ; Punnarapong et al , 2017 ), Chinese gasifier stove ( Carter et al , 2014 ), natural-draft gasifier cook stoves ( Hailu, 2022 ; Tryner et al , 2014 ), fixed bed advanced micro-gasifier cook stove ( Sakthivadivel & Iniyan, 2017 ), inverted downdraft gasifier ( Narnaware & Pareek, 2016 ; Ojolo et al , 2012 ; Osei et al , 2020 ), biomass gasifier cook stove ( Panwar & Rathore, 2015 ), top-lit updraft gasifier cook stove ( Scharler et al, 2021 ), advance micro-gasifier stove ( Sakthivadivel et al , 2019 ; Wamalwa et al , 2017 ), rice husk gas stove ( Ndindeng et al , 2019 ), natural and force draft gasifiers stove ( Getahun et al , 2018 ), and natural cross draft ( Nwakaire & Ugwuishiwu, 2015 ). However, to the authors’ best knowledge, no proper systematic reviews have already been conducted on the overall thermal performance of gasifier cook stoves, with an emphasis on types of gasifier stoves, cooking fuels, location of investigation, and materials to fabricate stoves.…”

A systematic literature review was conducted to summarize the overall thermal performance of different gasified cooking stoves from the available literature. For this purpose, available studies from the last 14 years (2008 to 2022) were searched using different search strings. After screening, a total of 28 articles were selected for this literature review. Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were used as search strings by applying “Gasifier cooking stove” AND “producer gas cooking stove” AND “thermal performance” keywords. This review uncovers different gasified cooking stoves, cooking fuels, and fabrication materials besides overall thermal performances. The result shows that the overall thermal performance of different gasified cooking stoves was 5.88% to 91% depending on the design and burning fuels. The premixed producer gas burner with a swirl vane stove provided the highest overall thermal performance range, which was 84% to 91%, and the updraft gasified stove provided the lowest performance, which was 5.88% to 8.79%. The result also demonstrates that the wood pellets cooking fuel provided the highest thermal performance and corn straw briquette fuel provided the lowest for gasified cooking stoves. The overall thermal performance of wood pellets was 38.5% and corn straw briquette was 10.86%.

“…The user suggests modifying the Updraft gasifier stove by implementing top lighting and combining eucalyptus briquettes, sawdust, bamboo, and cow dung as fuel sources. The combustion test results indicated that the gasifier stove achieved a maximum efficiency of 32.3 % when using eucalyptus charcoal briquettes [12,13]. The performance of cooking stoves can be enhanced by using sawdust as an insulating material, specifically with a layer thickness of less than 6 cm.…”

This research systematically evaluates a biomass combustion furnace, focusing on the influence of varying combustion chamber casing materials. The study employs controlled laboratory experiments to investigate the impact of different casing materials on combustion performance, thermal efficiency, and practical applications such as water boiling capacity. The research uses distinct materials, including clay, steel, and aluminum, for combustion chamber casings while maintaining consistent dimensions. The central experimental apparatus, an aluminum stove, was meticulously crafted, adhering to precise measurements. Coconut shell briquettes served as the primary fuel source for this investigation. The results reveal intriguing dynamics in combustion behavior. Notably, the choice of combustion chamber casing material significantly affects fire temperature, sleeve wall temperature, thermal efficiency, and the ability to boil water. Clay emerges as a standout performer, achieving high thermal efficiency (56.8 %), substantial water boiling capacity (25 liters), and efficient fuel consumption (1.28 kg of burnt briquettes). However, steel casing materials excel in generating the highest fire temperatures (up to 557 °C), underscoring their exceptional heat-conducting properties. Aluminum has fast temperature responses but may not retain heat like clay. The findings help optimize biomass combustion furnaces and associated applications. Material selection is crucial to attaining combustion goals like efficiency, temperature generation, or practical heat. These discoveries could lead to more efficient and ecologically friendly biomass combustion systems for sustainable energy and resource use
