With cylinder gas becoming unaffordable and pipeline connections scarce in many areas, residents are increasingly turning to wood-burning stoves.

The crisis is compounded by rising costs for electric appliances like rice cookers, leaving consumers with few options.

As a result, demand has spiked for modern, low-smoke wood stoves, which are seen as a cost-effective solution.

Local factories report being overwhelmed with pre-orders, working around the clock to meet the needs of families struggling with the energy crunch.
