Improvement process of wood energy systems in palm sugar industry on Sathing Phra Peninsula is a successful example of the development oriented research on agrarian system process incorperating a preliminary phase of precise and accurate diagnosis, on-farm research methodologies and good links between research and extension works. This paper describes the major constraints to adopting the two pan stove drawn from the evaluation phase of the past innovation, and the reorientation of research and extension activities to overcome the problems which were reported. The one-open pan stove with a chimney and grate and its transportable metallic knock down mould were designed and tested in close cooperation with the small producers. The same concepts and means of execution of the extension activities as used for the two-pan stove were repeated with the new stoves. Monitoring of adoption of the innovation in the local conditions of production after a one year period of successful extension in 1990 is presented.
