Traditional Three Rock Fire
The rocket stove has social and environmental benefits to the large population in the developing world that have no other alternative than burring biomass for their cooking and heating needs. Rural cultures around the world depend on the three rock fire for there cooking needs.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is the main driving factor in the decimation programs around the developing third world. Soot and ash produced when cooking with traditional three rock fires creates unhealthy amounts of indoor air particulates, resulting in respiratory and breathing issues.
Fuel Savings
Improved Fuel stoves can reduce the amount of wood fuel needed to cook. Improving the heat transfer efficiency of energy from the fire to the cooking vessel reduces the amount of energy wasted, thus reducing the amount of wood needed. Reduction in the amount of wood fuel needed each month allows the rural family to either save time and money. Rural families who traditionally purchased wood fuel will save money allowing funds to be spent on other basic needs. Rural cultures that physically find and collect wood fuel will allowing women who predominately collect wood to save time.
Burns
Traditional open three rock fires are dangerous to small children who can easily fall or trip into a open fire on the floor of there dwelling. Improved Fuel stoves are insulated and elevated above the ground, preventing children from accidentally burning them selfs.

This is some text that needs to be added
To make bullets use the asterix:
- Like this
- and two for the next indent
- and back to one...
- Similarly, numbered bullets are like this
- and multi-leveled like this
This is a level one heading
This is italic text. This is were i need to put in some words. The rocket stove fullfills the needs of rural
This is a level two heading (etc)
This is bold text.
- This is indented text. Click Show preview, to see what this looks like.
