Biomass combustion provides basic energy requirements for cooking and water heating in the developing countries. Biomass is considered as the renewable energy source with the highest potential to contribute in the energy needs for both the developed and developing economics worldwide. The research work was undertaken to develop the dual purpose cook stove suitable for family size. The study revealed that the average thermal efficiency for dual purpose cook stove was found as 14.81 percent and 18.28 perusing babul sticks and neem sticks respectively and the power output ratings for dual purpose cook stove were found 1.56 kW and 1.69kW respectively with babul sticks and neem sticks. Specific fuel consumption (SFC) wasfoundas0.326 and 0.297 for babul sticks and neem sticks respectively because of higher calorific value of babul sticks and neem sticks respectively i.e. 3796.8 kcal/kg and 3435.2 kcal/kg. Mixture of fine and courses and was used as insulation for cook stove. In water heating, the temperature rise per unit length was 120C/m and temperature rise per unit time was120 C/min.
