[Stoves] Jamaican cooking

[Ronald Hongsermeier]

Dear Otto,

I am not a "Charcoal Fan", I push all my air through my lungs, but get 
enough oxidation done to do a little thinking.

However, not having seen the original results due to lack of time, 
wouldn't a reduction in the amount of _charcoal_ used also reduce the 
total system effects? I have to assume that the people burning charcoal 
have decided to do so. If I can reduce the amount of charcoal they are 
burning, they might even have enough extra cash to buy a tree seedling.

One interesting thing about aluminum is that its heat transfer 
capabilities make it surprising hard to melt by a very small fire. I'm 
also not aware of the net "greenhouse emissions" of turning out the 
steel for a stove vs. the aluminum for a stove, but if you check that 
out there might be another factor to add into your total equation of life.

regards,

Ronald von Kannschlechtschweißen
