Upesi or anagi stoves for cooking are preferable to three-stone stoves: they prevent illness due to smoke inhalation and save energy. Colour lithograph, ca. 1996.

"The Upesi stove, made of clay and kiln-fired, was developed by Practical Action and East African partners to utilize wood and agricultural wastes. Because this stove was designed and adapted for local needs it produced several winning features. Not only does it cut the use of fuel-wood by approximately half, and reduce exposure to household smoke, it also empowers local women by creating employment as they are the ones who make and market the stoves. These women's groups gain access to technical training in production and marketing and enjoy higher wage earnings and improved social status as a result of the introduction of this improved stove."--Wikipedia, 10 October 2011
