3 billion people's health is at risk is simply because of how they cook their food. Smoke inhalation from burning wood or charcoal over an open pit leads to 1.9 million premature deaths a year, mostly among women and children who are often home all day.

We take a closer look at four of these stoves and how the manufacturers are not just in pursuit of the perfect design but how an intense campaign is underway to get these stoves to those who need them the most.
