|Stove Types:
 
−
 
 
−
- Three Stone Fire, Improved Mud  Stove, Improved Cookstoves
 
−
 
 
−
Availability and  Costs:
 
−
 
 
−
- Three stone fires are open fires  and although they have no financial cost.
 
−
 
 
−
- Improved mud stoves can be produced  relatively cheaply where appropriate clay soils are readily available and thus,  likely to achieve higher adoption. They provide Tier performance and have  room for further efficiency improvement to achieve quality standards for  clean cooking.
 
−
 
 
−
(see MTF framework below).
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
- Improved cookstoves can be produced  locally or are available from international suppliers relatively cheaply,  although generally costs increase as higher quality standards are achieved
 
−
|<nowiki>- Collection of firewood can put  women and children at risk of sexual gender-based violence </nowiki>
 
−
 
 
−
- Cookstoves with a low tier of  performance causes high levels of indoor air pollution and associated health  concerns (e.g. respiratory diseases, eye irritation, etc.)
 
−
 
 
−
- Cooking on open fire poses risk of burns and fires
 
−
 
 
−
- Uncontrolled exploitation of firewood  can lead to deforestation and environmental degradation
 
−
 
 
−
- Competing demands for a limited  resource can lead to friction between the host and displaced communities
 
−
 
 
−
- In instances where biomass is non-renewably  collected, improved cookstoves can contribute positively to climate change by reducing the emissions.
 
−
 
 
−
|<nowiki>-  Improved cookstoves are more available than alternative clean cook stoves in most contexts </nowiki>
 
−
 
 
−
- Many  commercially made improved cookstoves are more efficient than three-stone  fires and some (Tier 4) also meet most of the international quality  standards  
 
−
 
 
−
- Improved cookstoves have relatively  lower price and higher uptake compared to alternative clean cookstoves
 
−
|<nowiki>- Most  improved cookstoves do not meet the quality standard for clean cooking,  particularly if used improperly </nowiki>
 
−
 
 
−
-  Improved cookstoves are dependent on biomass fuel sources, many of which are  unsustainably grown and collected
 
−
 
 
−
-  Handcrafted cookstoves cannot guarantee quality standards, and consequently  it is impossible to quantify their impact
 
−
 
 
−
- Although sustainably managed wood lots are  possible, the size of the land required is generally prohibitive with regards  to meeting the demands of a displaced community in its entirety (this  includes households, businesses and institutions)

| Pellets and briquettes are the result  of compacting loose biomass (including charred biomass) into a uniform  product, which may require the addition of a binder, to achieve energy  densification (less volume for the same amount of energy output)

- Improved cookstoves can be produced  locally or are available from international suppliers relatively cheaply,  although generally costs increase as higher quality standards are achieved

|<nowiki>- Can produce less smoke than other  biomass fuels but this is dependent on the raw materials, quality of  production and the type of stove used  </nowiki>
 
−
|<nowiki>- There is an opportunity to use  waste biomass or sustainable wood supplies to manufacture pellets and  briquettes</nowiki>
 
−
|<nowiki>- Pellets and briquettes can be  difficult to light and be reused once extinguished </nowiki>
 
−
 
 
−
- Grant based small scale briquetting  activities in displacement settings rarely result in meaningful impact and  are only sustainable with ongoing grant commitments
