Nearly half of Indonesia's rural population still uses firewood for cooking. A publication by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) on environmental health notes that although 51 percent of residents have switched to 3-kilogram LPG cylinders, 41.45 percent of rural households still use firewood. Firewood use in villages is considerably higher compared to urban areas. City dwellers have largely abandoned firewood for cooking; its use in cities is only 7.45 percent.

The use of firewood as cooking fuel is environmentally unfriendly. The BPS states that the smoke produced by firewood is comparable to the harmful pollution from motor vehicles, endangering health. Nevertheless, many people continue to use firewood instead of LPG due to cost and habit.
