The estimated cost for the stove was calculated around 6700 CFA francs (10.5€). The most expensive item was the metal chimney, which had to be realized manually during the observation on site. The cost of that single item is likely to be significantly lower
in case of production on a real small scale, rather than the cost paid for the prototype realization. Actually, in the calculations a conservative production cost of 10,000 for the mlc stove was assumed.
