Suggested improvements of improved cookstoves.

Ecochula	Put stands at the bottom to prevent stove from becoming damaged while being pulled from the stand Change the way fuel is added to make adding fuel easier (such as adding fuel from the sides or top) Improve the fan to blow the fire more efficiently
Ecozoom	Make spaces in rack smaller (so wood does not fall through when partially burnt) Widen bottom part of stove for increased stability Make the stove lighter in weight Provide bigger handles to carry stove Make pot rest closer to combustion chamber
Envirofit	Include a rack to support firewood inside stove Make handles out of a material that is less slippery and does not retain heat Increase pot stability by making six stands on the pot rest Increase height of the stove Reduce spaces in rack to prevent ash from falling onto floor
Philips	Protect switch from damage Improve solar panel to charge cell phones Smooth ends where the pot rests (too sharp) Use material other than plastic to make the bottom of stove Increase pot stability
Prakti	Add a rack to support firewood Re-position chimney Add three prongs for pot to rest
Rocket TECA	Provide bigger combustion chamber Reduce height of stove Improve ease of lighting stove
