Joyce,
You might wish to direct your question to the [stoves] list (CC'd).
I have tried jatropha nuts in a TLUD. The whole idea of improving a
"three stone stove" (fire) seems like it would probably require hardware
anyway, even if it is just a piece of sheet metal to wrap around the
base of the fire and protect it from wind / reflect the heat back into
the centre. And, if you have the sheet metal anyway...

Dear Lloyd;
It may be a far cry from burning jatropha in a TLUD, but has anyone
tried burning the dried fruit in a three stone fire? Would addition of
some kind of grate to get them up off the ground be feasible or
productive? The poorest of women, the ones I want to help, probably
earn less than a dollar a day and can save nothing. I wonder whether
anyone has thought about trying to improve the three stone stove---
