Hi all
As Crispin mentioned there is lots of biomass to burn as there is tremendous
biomass supply after the typhoon. Whats required is an investment in long term
stove development by donors. Our agency REAP-Canada http://www.reap-canada.com/
started working on stoves in the Philippines in 1998, where we assessed various
stoves in the Visayas and eventually developed the Mayon Turbo stove. We built
5000 mayon turbo rice hull stoves in the area mainly for peri-urban and rural
users who had access to rice husk. We were the first to obtain a clean
combustion from a small scale rice hull cooker. Rice husk is very low cost or
free so the annualized cost of cooking is exceptionally low though the metal
stove somewhat costly $15-20USD.
Nonetheless I would suggest clay stoves ahead of metal stoves for most of these
households in the typhoon affected areas in terms of affordability and
replicability.
For individual households using fuelwood the eco-kalan developed by rebecca
vermeer looks to be the best option for the cooking pots and cooking needs of
families.
For very large families and commercial cooking we have recently developed in
west africa the REAP clay brick stove locally known in west africa as the
no-flay stove. It would be a nice fit for the Philippines based on our previous
experiences there understanding cooking needs

We build and install these advanced clay brick stoves for about $9-$12 in west
africa but have not installed any in the Philipppines( but we would love to
work there again).
Just google mayon turbo stove, eco-kalan and no flay clay brick stove and they
will come up for you in on line searches.

On a slightly different note - with the devastation wrought on the forests and
off farm tree cover - would there be possibilities for aerial re-seeding of
select tree species that would help with nutrition (moringa etc.) live stock
fodder (leceanea etc.) and woodfuel (there is a huge selection).
Naturally the environmental is not as critical as clean water during the first
weeks of a natural disaster but if reafforestation could piggybacked onto
existing efforts it would help alot in the long run I believe.
Please see this link for some interesting experiances.
