[Stoves] Discovered an interesting 90 pages gtz publication on stoves all over the world

[rongretlarson at comcast.net]

Chris (cc list and Tom): 

1. Thanks for forwarding this link (below), which is a new one for me. There are 2 earlier portions, that can be downloaded as well by changing your "3" below to "1" and "2" There are many more than 90 pages. Must be over 5 MB in total. 

2. This is one of the top books on stoves I have ever seen. Amazingly complete for contents around the world. Many excellent citations - and wonderful photos. 

3. This is to ask Tom Miles if he had previously seen this - and if it is somewhere in his huge list of resources. I just looked 
(example: http://www.bioenergylists.org/search/node/1995) 

and couldn't find it. I am wondering how/why it never made it into the "stoves" list discussions. (Or maybe it did - it should have.) It proves (??) we are not a sufficiently all-inclusive community. 

4. As good as I find it (for 1995), I don't think there is anything in it of value today to almost anyone on this list. The "stoves" list started within a year after this publication - mainly at first talking of charcoal-making stoves. I cannot find (but I didn't look real closely - hope I am wrong) anything on charcoal-making (top-lit TLUD - or even BLDD), much less the material on Tom's "stoves" list since 2007 (2008?) of TLOD stoves. 

5. So can anyone point me to anything in this (wonderful historical) document that will be of use in working today on improved stoves? (The need is certainly shown in this book.) 


Part B. Chris' website: 

1. I had not been for some time to your website. You have done some very nice work. Congratulations. 

2. I have earlier seen "Biocoal" used in Germany in preference to "Biochar". Can you give a rationale for the German preference for "coal" over "char" when coupled with "Bio"?
