Questions and instructions
Literal question
Type of fuel use for cooking?
Interviewer instructions
Information on the type of fuel used for cooking is collected as another measure of the socioeconomic status of the household.
The use of some cooking fuels can also have adverse health consequences.

Definitions of some of the types of fuel are as follows:
'Lignite' is a derivative of coal that produces more smoke when burned but produces less heat than coal.

Circle the code corresponding to the answer given. Remember that this question asks about fuel for cooking, not fuel for
heating or lighting. If the household uses more than one fuel for cooking, find out the fuel used most often. If any
fuel other than the pre-coded ones is reported as being the main fuel used for cooking, circle '09' and specify the type of fuel
on the line provided.
