[Stoves] Disapprovals about being too closed. Re: Air supply in TLUDs

[rongretlarson at comcast.net]

Andrew - One objection to your remarks below. 

As our "stoves" list coordinator, you are expected/allowed to "judge". Ranting is probably to be avoided, but more allowable for you than anyone else. 

I somehow missed (or forgot) this video (cite below) from Nat. Do you think that was up in 2008? It explains all the key terms - the most important being "venturi".- not a part of any TLUD - the patentable feature of the Lucia . 

Do you have charcoal-making weather yet in London?

I thought it a good rant too, but not being one of the protagonists I make 
no judgement. 

Plainly if the stakes are getting higher then independently verified 
testing methods become more important but these devices are simple, even 
Nat's video shows this. His device is exceptional in being so well 
engineered and crafte. Any bright engineer is likely able to come up to 
speed on the subject within weeks. 

BTW Ron, Nat pointed [stoves] to the link above soon after we met him in 
Newcastle.
