Most households in Timor-Leste use lali'an, a traditional open fire method of cooking that has considerable environmental, health, and social impacts. Many of these impacts can be mitigated using simple, low-cost, and more fuel-efficient improved cook stoves (ICSs). Drawing on qualitative data from householders, key informants, and the researcher's observations, this article explores women's experiences of using ICS in Timor-Leste. It outlines the economic and time cost for households using lali'an, and the health, social, and economic benefits of ICSs. Using the information-motivation-behavioral skills model, this study explores the dynamics of the decision-making process and behavior change related to cooking technology. The findings show that women are primarily responsible for the household kitchen; however, they are not always in a position to make the decision to adopt an ICS. It is therefore imperative that the introduction and promotion of ICS to households in Timor-Leste be accessible to women, as investment and awareness-raising regarding ICS will contribute much to the satisfaction of women's basic needs, children's health, and reduction of deforestation in Timor-Leste
