The Master Thesis presents the design of a cook stove that uses biomass such as rice husk to cook. This cook stoves called gasifiers are an alternative to fossil fuel cook stoves in rural areas since the smoke generated by fossil fuels stove comprises a variety of health-damaging pollutants. The gasifier presented in this report was designed under the principles of human-centred design to adapt the technology to the users and enhance a better usability of this product and cooking experience.
