FIGURE 4.

a) Traditional open fire used for cooking, and b) the locally developed and constructed chimney woodstove, the plancha, in Guatemala. The chimney woodstove has a thick metal heating surface for cooking tortillas and holes with removable concentric rings for pots, a firebrick combustion chamber with baffling, a concrete and brick body, tile surfaces around the cooking area, dirt and pumice stone insulation, a metal fuel door, and a metal chimney with a damper. Infants and toddlers are highly exposed to combustion smoke as they are carried on their mother’s back while she cooks, a common cultural practice in Guatemala and other regions.
