Jeff,
I am interested in your efforts. How can I be of assistance? I live
in central Illinois, but will be gone all of January with trips to
Africa and then to the ETHOS stove meeting in Seattle.
When we have something working satisfactorily, I can have it replicated
in several countries where we want such fuel processing for TLUD stoves.
