Benefit cost ratio has been found maximum for geometrically optimized best dimension cookstove and minimum for grate and insulation used cookstove in best dimension. Net benefit of cookstove has been increased with the grate and insulation. Marginal abatement cost of best dimension cookstove has been found minimum NPR. 445/tCO2eq and maximum for the cookstove with the use all the accessories NPR 600 tCO2eq.
