• "Unique selling points" from users' perspective

Prakti stoves are well suited to the needs of their target markets. They gain traction by bringing value with the following features:

• Reduced fuel consumption
  Users collecting their firewood enjoy less time and effort spent on wood collection and more time available for undertaking other activities; users buying their fuel lower their weekly expenditures.
  The destruction of forest cover and desertification decrease.
• Reduced indoor air pollution
  Inefficient combustion releases particulates and poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide into the kitchen. These emissions cause watery eyes, headaches, and nausea when cooking and lead to chronic pulmonary problems like bronchitis or asthma, lung cancer, fetal underdevelopment, and cataracts.
• Faster cooking
  Less time is spent tending the fire and with the double burner stoves it takes less time to cook two dishes at the same time.
• Indoor or outdoor
  The light weight of the stove allows users to move it around for cooking as required
• Design and exterior appearance
  The attractive appearance of the stove allows it to be a showpiece in the kitchen for the owner. In particular, many poor customers appreciate the fact that it looks like a gas stove.
• Easier to tend the fire
  It is easier and faster to start a fire, easier to keep the fire burning, and easier to control the heat produced in comparison to the traditional open fire.
• Cleaner kitchen and pots as there is little soot and smoke released
• More comfort for the cook
  Cooking becomes more comfortable as there is less heat and smoke in the kitchen. Cooks sweat less, their clothes remain clean and free from smoke smell.
• Safer cooking area
  The risk of burn accidents is reduced for the cook and children as the fire is enclosed.
• Chimney modules
  The exhaust heat from the chimney can be used for heating the room or water. A meat and vegetable smoking module is also available in places where the stoves' smoke is used.
