Madras grows 3'5 million acres of groundnuts. Seventeen, out of 24 districts in the province grow over 50,000 acres. Hence groundnut husk is available in large quantities and at cheap rates in several localities. The use of groundnut husk as fuel for the household is restricted because of its poor burning qualities. But with the aid of a suitable furnace, this defect is overcome and it becomes a very convenient fuel for cooking food in the kitchen. A hearth suitable for the South Indian household has been designed on the principle of the Sindhwahi furnace that is in use for boiling cane juice and making jaggery.
